Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 2115<br />

Ali ibn AbuTalib<br />

Narrated by<br />

AbulHayyaj al-Asadi told that Ali ibn AbuTalib said to him: Should I not send you on the same<br />

mission as Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) sent me? Do not leave an image without<br />

obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling it. This hadith has been reported by Habib<br />

with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (do not leave) a picture without obliterating<br />

it.<br />

18. God is witness to his mission<br />

MOCK:<br />

5:57 - - O ye who believe! take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a<br />

mockery or sport whether among those who received the Scripture before you or among those<br />

who reject faith; but fear ye Allah if ye have Faith (indeed). 768<br />

768 It is not right that we should be in intimate association with those to whom religion is either a subject of mockery or at<br />

best is nothing but a plaything. They may be amused, or they may have other motives for encouraging you. But your<br />

association with them will sap the earnestness of your Faith, and make you cynical and insincere. (5.57)<br />

36:30 - Ah! alas for (My) servants! There comes not an apostle to them but they mock Him! 3975<br />

3975 Cf. vi. 10 and many other passages of similar import. Ignorant men mock at Allah's prophets, or any one who takes<br />

Religion seriously. But they do not reflect that such levity reacts on themselves. Their own lives are ruined and they<br />

cease to count. If they study history, they will see that countless generations were destroyed before them because<br />

they did not take Truth seriously and undermined the very basis of their individual and collective existence. The<br />

servants is here equivalent to "men". Allah regrets the folly of men, especially as He cherishes them as His own<br />

servants. (36.30)<br />

MOLTEN BRASS:<br />

18:29 - Say "The Truth is from your Lord": let him who will believe and let him who will reject (it): for<br />

the wrongdoers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames) like the wall and roof of a<br />

tent will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass that will<br />

scald their faces. How dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on! 2371<br />

2371 Our choice in our limited Free-will involves a corresponding personal responsibility. We are offered the Truth: again<br />

and again is it pressed on our attention. If we reject it, we must take all the terrible consequences which are prefigured<br />

in the Fire of Hell. Its flames and roof will completely enclose us like a tent. Ordinarily there is water to quench the<br />

heat of thirst: here the only drink will be like molten brass, thick, heavy, burning, sizzling. Before it reaches the mouth<br />

of the unfortunates, drops of it will scald their faces as it is poured out. (18.29)<br />

44:45 - ike molten brass; it will boil in their insides<br />

70:8 - The Day that the sky will be like molten brass 5681<br />

5681 Cf. xviii. 29 (where the wrong-doer will have a drink like melted brass in Hell); and xliv. 45, (where his food will be like<br />

molten brass). Here the appearance of the sky is compared to molten brass, or, as some understand it, like the dregs<br />

of oil. What is conveyed by the metaphor is that the beautiful blue sky will melt away. (70.8)<br />
