Erasing Images and Leveling Graves

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of erasing images and leveling graves, as instructed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

It was narrated from 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) that He sent his chief of police and said: "Do you know what mission I am sending you on? It is the same mission as the Messenger of Allah sent me. To erase every image and level every grave".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّكَنُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَشْوَعَ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ الْكِنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ بَعَثَ عَامِلَ شُرْطَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَتَدْرِي عَلَى مَا أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَنْحِتَ كُلَّ يَعْنِي صُورَةً وَأَنْ أُسَوِّيَ كُلَّ قَبْرٍ‏.‏
