(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَدْخَلَانِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَكُنْتُ إِذَا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي تَنَحْنَحَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ الْمَلَكُ اللَّيْلَةَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْفَةً فِي الدَّارِ فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ مَا زِلْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ أَنْتَظِرُكَ إِنَّ فِي بَيْتِكَ كَلْبًا فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ الدُّخُولَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلَا جُنُبٌ وَلَا تِمْثَالٌ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I used to visit the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) twice a day, day and night. Whenever I entered upon him and he was praying, he would clear his throat. One night I came to him and he said: Do you know that an angel has brought a new command? Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was praying when I heard some movement in the house. When I went outside, it was Jibreel (peace be upon him). He said: I was waiting for you this night, but there was a dog in your house, so I could not enter. We do not enter a house in which there is a dog, a person in a state of major impurity (junub), or a picture.
