Erasing Images and Levelling Graves

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of erasing images and levelling built-up graves.

It was narrated that Abul-Hayyaj al-Asadi said: 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said to me: I shall send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah sent me: do not leave any image without erasing it or any built-up grave without levelling it.
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيَّاجِ الْأَسَدِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا تَدَعَ تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا طَمَسْتَهُ وَلَا قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ‏.‏

This hadith speaks to the importance of erasing images and levelling built-up graves. It was narrated by Abul-Hayyaj al-Asadi that Ali said to him, "I shall send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah sent me; do not leave any image without erasing it or any built up grave without levelling it." This hadith emphasizes that we should not leave any images or graves in a state that is contrary to Islamic teachings. We should erase all images, as they are considered idolatry, and level all built up graves, as this is seen as a form of respect for those who have passed away. By following these instructions, we can ensure that our actions are in line with Islamic teachings.
