Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that we had a curtain on which there was a picture of a bird. When someone would enter, it would be visible in front of them. One day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Aisha! Turn it away. Whenever I enter and see it, the world comes to my mind." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a cloak on which there were marks of silk; we used to wear it.
