عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَتَيْتُكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَدْخُلَ عَلَيْكَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ تِمْثَالُ رَجُلٍ وَكَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ قِرَامُ سِتْرٍ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَمُرْ بِرَأْسِ التِّمْثَالِ يُقْطَعْ فَيُصَيَّرَ كَهَيْئَةِ الشَّجَرَةِ وَمُرْ بِالسِّتْرِ يُقْطَعْ فَيُجْعَلَ مِنْهُ وِسَادَتَانِ تُوطَآنِ وَمُرْ بِالْكَلْبِ فَيُخْرَجَ فَفَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِذَا الْكَلْبُ جَرْوٌ كَانَ لِلْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ تَحْتَ نَضَدٍ لَهُمَا
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: I came last night to meet you, but I was prevented from entering the house in which you were present because there was a statue of a man in the house, and there was a thin curtain in the house. So, command that the heads of the pictures be cut off so that they become like trees, and command regarding the curtain that it be cut and made into two cushions that can be trampled upon, and command regarding the dog that it be expelled. Thus, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did so. That puppy actually belonged to Syedna Hasan and Syedna Husain (may Allah be pleased with them), which was lying under the cot with the belongings.
