3226. Narrated Busr bin Sa'īd that Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juḥanī رضي الله عنه narrated to him something in the presence of Sa'īd bin 'Ubaidullāh Al-Khawlānī who was brought up in the house of Maimūna رضي الله عنها, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. Zaid narrated to them that Abū Ṭalḥa said that the Prophet ﷺ said, "The angels (of mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a picture." Busr said, "Later on Zaid bin Khālid fell ill and we called on him. To our surprise we saw a curtain decorated with pictures in his house. I said to 'Ubaidullāh Al-Khawlānī, "Didn't he (i.e., Zaid) tell us about the (prohibition of) pictures?" He said, "But he said, except the embroidery on garments. Didn't you hear him?" I said, "No". He said, "Yes, he did."
