وَعَنْ أَبِي الْهَيَّاجِ الْأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ: أَلَا أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِن لَا تَدَعَ تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا طَمَسْتَهُ وَلَا قَبْرًا مشرفا إِلَّا سويته. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

Abu al-Hayyaj al-Asadi reported: Ali said to me, ‘Shall I not send you on the same mission on which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent me: leave no image without obliterating it, and no raised grave without levelling it.’ Muslim transmitted it.
