Sa'eed bin Abi ‘Aroobah narrated that he saw an-Nadr bin Anas tell Qatadah that

He saw 'Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) giving fatwas to the people, and he did not mention the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in his fatwas until a man came and said: I am an Iraqi man and I make these images. He said: Come closer - two or three times - I heard Muhammad (ﷺ) (or: I heard The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)) say: "Whoever makes an image in this world will be asked on the Day of Resurrection to breathe a soul into it, and he will never be able to do so."
