أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ فِي بَيْتِي ثَوْبٌ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ فَجَعَلْتُهُ إِلَی سَهْوَةٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَخِّرِيهِ عَنِّي فَنَزَعْتُهُ فَجَعَلْتُهُ وَسَائِدَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 765
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “In my house there was a cloth on which there were images, which I covered a closet which is in the house, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to pray toward it. Then he said: ‘‘Aishah, take it away from me.’ So I removed it and made pillows out of it.” (Sahih)
