حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هَيَّاجٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَنِي عَلِيٌّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ! أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا طَمَسْتُهُ .

Ali رضی اللہ عنہ said to me: I am sending you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent me that I should not leave a high grave without leveling it and an image without obliterating it.
