باب فِي الصُّوَرِ

English narration

Narrated by أبو طلحة الأنصاري

Narrated Abu Talhah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The angels do not enter the house which contains a picture. Busr (b. Saeed), the transmitter of this tradition, said: Zaid (b. Khalid al-Juhani) then fell it and we paid him a sick visit. There was a curtain with a picture hanging at his door. I then said to Ubaid Allah al-Khawlani', the step-son of Maimunah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ: Did Zaid not tell us about pictures on the first day ? Ubaid Allah said: Did you not hear him when he said: Except a figure on a garment.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : "

إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُورَةٌ

" ، قَالَ بُسْرٌ : ثُمَّ اشْتَكَى زَيْدٌ ، فَعُدْنَاهُ فَإِذَا عَلَى بَابِهِ سِتْرٌ فِيهِ صُورَةٌ فَقُلْتُ لِعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ رَبِيبِ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَلَمْ يُخْبِرْنَا زَيْدٌ عَنِ الصُّوَرِ يَوْمَ الْأَوَّلِ ؟ فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ : أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْهُ حِينَ قَالَ إِلَّا رَقْمًا فِي ثَوْبٍ .
