Abu Talha Ansari reported Allah Messenger ﷺ as saying: Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture or portraits. I came to Aisha and said to her: This is a news that I have received that Allah Apostle ﷺ had said: Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture or a dog; and further added whether she had heard Allah Messenger ﷺ making a mention of it. She said: No I did not hear this myself ; but I narrate to you what I saw him doing. I bear testimony to the fact that he the Holy Prophet set out for an expedition. I took a carpet and screened the door with it. When he the Holy Prophet came back he saw that carpet and I perceived signs of disapproval on his face. He pulled it until it was torn or it was cut into pieces and he said: God has not commanded us to clothe stones and clay. We cut it the curtain and prepared two pillowa out of it by stuffing them with the fibre of date-palms and he the Holy Prophet did not find fault with it.
