Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 3284

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, and in front of him was a stove on which there were images. He said: O Ibn Abbas, what is this garment you are wearing? 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 fear of becoming arrogant and proud and we, praise be to Allah, are not like that. He said: What are these images in the slove? He said: Do you not see that we have burned them with fire?
