5367. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "Jibrīl, peace be upon him, asked permission to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Come in.' He said: 'How can I come in when there is a curtain in your house on which there are images? You should either cut off their heads or make it into a rug to be stepped on, for we Angels do not enter a house in which there are images.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
٥٣٦٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «اسْتَأْذَنَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: ادْخُلْ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَدْخُلُ وَفِي بَيْتِكَ سِتْرٌ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ؟ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُقْطَعَ رُؤُوسُهَا أَوْ تُجْعَلَ بِسَاطًا يُوطَأُ؛ فَإِنَّا مَعْشَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ».
