أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بُکَيْرٌ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَدْخُلُ الْمَلَائِکَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُورَةٌ قَالَ بُسْرٌ ثُمَّ اشْتَکَی زَيْدٌ فَعُدْنَاهُ فَإِذَا عَلَی بَابِهِ سِتْرٌ فِيهِ صُورَةٌ قُلْتُ لِعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ أَلَمْ يُخْبِرْنَا زَيْدٌ عَنْ الصُّورَةِ يَوْمَ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْهُ يَقُولُ إِلَّا رَقْمًا فِي ثَوْبٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5365
It was narrated from Abu Talhah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “The angels do not enter any house in which there is an image.” Busr said: “Then Zaid fell sick and we went to visit him, and on his door there was a curtain on which there was an image. I said to ‘Ubaidullah Al-KhawlanI: ‘Didn’t Zaid tell us about images yesterday?’ ‘Ubaidullah said: ‘Didn’t you hear him say: Except for patterns on fabrics?” (Sahih)
