حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ الْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَعُودُهُ مِنْ وَجَعٍ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ إِسْتَبْرَقٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ مَا هَذَا الثَّوْبُ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ قَالَ هَذَا الْإِسْتَبْرَقُ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ بِهِ وَمَا أَظُنُّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ هَذَا حِينَ نَهَى عَنْهُ إِلَّا لِلتَّجَبُّرِ وَالتَّكَبُّرِ وَلَسْنَا بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ فَمَا هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرُ فِي الْكَانُونِ قَالَ أَلَا تَرَى قَدْ أَحْرَقْنَاهَا بِالنَّارِ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ الْمِسْوَرُ قَالَ انْزَعُوا هَذَا الثَّوْبَ عَنِّي وَاقْطَعُوا رُءُوسَ هَذِهِ التَّمَاثِيلِ قَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ لَوْ ذَهَبْتَ بِهَا إِلَى السُّوقِ كَانَ أَنْفَقَ لَهَا مَعَ الرَّأْسِ قَالَ لَا فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِ رُءُوسِهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2934
It was narrated from Shu'bah that al-Miswar bin Makhramah entered upon Ibn 'Abbas (RA) to visit him when he was sick, and he was wearing a cloak of brocade. He said: O Ibn 'Abbas, what is this garment? He said: Which one? He said: This brocade. He said: By Allah, I was not aware of it and I did not think that the Prophet (PBUH) forbade this when he forbade it, except for those who were arrogant and proud and we, praise be to Allah, are not like that. He said: What are these images in the stove? He said: Do you not see that we have burned them with fire? When al- Miswar left, he said: Take this garment away from me and cut off the heads of the images. They said: O Ibn 'Abbas, why don't you take it to the market? You could sell it for more if you leave the heads. He said: No. And he ordered that the heads be cut off.
