Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 2911

al-Miswar bin Makhramah entered upon Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) to visit him when he was sick, and he was wearing a cloak of brocade. He said: O Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه), 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 (ﷺ) 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 is you leave the heads. He said. No. And he ordered that the heads be cut off.
