the fact that there were statues at the door, and there was a curtain in the house on which there were images, and there was a dog in the house. So tell someone to cut off the heads of the statues that are by the door of the house, so that they will become like trees, and tell someone to take down the curtain and make it into two cushions which can be placed on the floor, and on which people may step, and tell someone to take the dog out.”
And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did that. The dog belonged to Ḥasan or Ḥusain, and it was under a bedstead (Nadd) of theirs, and he ordered that it be taken out.
(Sahih)
Abū Dāwūd said: An-Naḍad is something that garments are put on, that resembles a bed.
