Hadith #45206
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيَّاجِ الْأَسَدِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا تَدَعَ تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا طَمَسْتَهُ وَلَا قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ.
Waki’ told us, Sufyan told us, on the authority of Habib, on the authority of Abu Wa’il, on the authority of Abu Al-Hiyaj Al-Asadi, he said: Ali said to me, “I will send you for what he sent me.” The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was commanded: Do not leave any statue without obliterating it, or any elevated grave without leveling it.
