English translation

[5520] (2107) I (Zaid) came to 'Aishah and said: "This man told me that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or images.' Did you hear the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say that?" She said: "No, but I will tell you what I saw him do. I saw him go out on his campaign, and I took a blanket and hung it over the door. When he came back and saw the blanket, I saw displeasure in his face. He pulled it down and tore it or cut it, and said: 'Allâh has not commanded us to clothe stones and clay.'" She said: "We cut it up and made two pillows with it, and I stuffed them with palm fibres, and he did not criticize me for that."

Arabic text

(2107) قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ هَذَا يُخْبِرُنِي، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تَدْخُلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلَا تَمَاثِيلُ» فَهَلْ سَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَتْ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ فَعَلَ، رَأَيْتُهُ خَرَجَ فِي غَزَاتِهِ، فَأَخَذْتُ نَمَطًا فَسَتَرْتُهُ عَلَى الْبَابِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ فَرَأَى النَّمَطَ، عَرَفْتُ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَجَذَبَهُ حَتَّى هَتَكَهُ أَوْ قَطَعَهُ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا أَنْ نَكْسُوَ الْحِجَارَةَ وَالطِّينَ» قَالَتْ فَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ وِسَادَتَيْنِ وَحَشَوْتُهُمَا لِيفًا، فَلَمْ يَعِبْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ
