و حَدَّثَنَاه يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ کُلُّهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ ح و حَدَّثَنَاه ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ کِلَاهُمَا عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَی وَأَبِي کُرَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشَدِّ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَذَابًا الْمُصَوِّرُونَ وَحَدِيثُ سُفْيَانَ کَحَدِيثِ وَکِيعٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5538
This hadith has been reported on the authority of Abu Mu`awiya through another chain of transmitters (and the words are): Verily, the most grievously tormented people amongst the denizens of Hell on the Day of Resurrection would be the painters of pictures. The rest of the hadith is the same.
