Leveling Graves and Knocking Down Statues

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of levelling graves and knocking down statues.

It was narrated from Hanash Abul-Mu'tamir that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) sent his chief of police on a mission and said: I am sending you on a mission as the Messenger of Allah sent me: Do not leave any grave without levelling it or any statue without knocking it down.
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَشْوَعَ، عَنْ حَنَشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعَثَ صَاحِبَ شُرْطَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَبْعَثُكَ لِمَا بَعَثَنِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا تَدَعْ قَبْرًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ وَلَا تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا وَضَعْتَهُ‏.‏
