Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I had hung up a curtain with pictures on it. When he (peace be upon him) saw it, his face changed with anger, and he tore that curtain with his blessed hand and said: "Among the people, those who will have the severest punishment with Allah on the Day of Resurrection are those who imitate Allah’s creation (i.e., make pictures)." Imam Sufyan said: Both words have the same meaning.
