حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فَقَالَ لِي أَتَيْتُکَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَکُونَ دَخَلْتُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ کَانَ عَلَی الْبَابِ تَمَاثِيلُ وَکَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ قِرَامُ سِتْرٍ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ وَکَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ کَلْبٌ فَمُرْ بِرَأْسِ التِّمْثَالِ الَّذِي فِي الْبَيْتِ يُقْطَعُ فَيَصِيرُ کَهَيْئَةِ الشَّجَرَةِ وَمُرْ بِالسِّتْرِ فَلْيُقْطَعْ فَلْيُجْعَلْ مِنْهُ وِسَادَتَيْنِ مَنْبُوذَتَيْنِ تُوطَآَنِ وَمُرْ بِالْکَلْبِ فَلْيُخْرَجْ فَفَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِذَا الْکَلْبُ لِحَسَنٍ أَوْ حُسَيْنٍ کَانَ تَحْتَ نَضَدٍ لَهُمْ فَأُمِرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّضَدُ شَيْئٌ تُوضَعُ عَلَيْهِ الثِّيَابُ شَبَهُ السَّرِيرِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4158
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Gabriel ﷺ came to me and said: I came to you last night and was prevented from entering simply because there were images at the door, for there was a decorated curtain with images on it in the house, and there was a dog in the house. So order the head of the image which is in the house to be cut off so that it resembles the form of a tree; order the curtain to be cut up and made into two cushions spread out on which people may tread; and order the dog to be turned out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then did so. The dog belonged to al-Hasan or al-Husayn and was under their couch. So he ordered it to be turned out. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadd means a thing on which clothes are placed like a couch.
