2468. 'Āishah narrated: "We had a cloth which had some pictures on it as a curtain on my door. The messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw it and said: 'Remove it, for it reminds me of the world.'" She said: "We had a piece of velvet that had patches of silk on it which we used to wear." (Sahih) [Abū 'Āisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Sahih Gharib] from this route.
٢٤٦٨ - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ عَزْرَةَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ لَنَا قِرَامُ» سِتْرٍ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ عَلَى بَابِي، فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: انْزِعِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُذَكِّرُنِي الدُّنْيَا قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ لَنَا سَمَلُ قَطِيفَةٍ، عَلَمُهَا مِنْ حَرِيرٍ كُنَّا نَلْبَسُهَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

[1] Indicating — in accord with the narrations in this section — the importance of not devoting oneself to worldly matters, and that the blessing was less after having concern for the measurement left behind.
A person's putting a decorative cloth as a curtain on the door indicates his love of the world. Hence it was that the Messenger of Allāh's abhorred it.
