Arabic text

4151 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حِطَّانَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ لَا يَتْرُكُ فِي بَيْتِهِ شَيْئًا فِيهِ تَصْلِيبٌ إِلَّا قَضَبَهُ»

Commentary

A cross is an idol. In a Muslim's home it is to be destroyed, wiped out, or altered.
