1364 صحيح حديث أَبِي طَلْحَةَعَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ، وَمَعَ بُسْرٍ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ الْخَوْلاَنِيُّ، الَّذِي كَانَ فِي حَجْرِ مَيْمُونَةَ رضي الله عنها، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَدَّثَهُمَا زَيْدُ ابْنُ خَالِدٍ أنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: لاَ تَدْخُلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُورَةٌ قَالَ بُسْرٌ: فَمَرِضَ زَيْدُ ابْنُ خَالِدٍ، فَعُدْنَاهُ فَإِذَا نَحْن فِي بَيْتِهِ بِسِتْرٍ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ، فَقُلْتُ لِعُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ: أَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْنَا فِي التَّصَاوِيرِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَالَ: إِلاَّ رَقْمٌ فِي ثَوْبٍ، أَلاَ سَمِعْتَهُ قُلْتُ: لاَ قَالَ: بَلَى، قَدْ ذَكَرَه
Busr bin Sa'id narrated, and from him Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated, and (the narrator of the hadith) Ubaidullah Khawlani also participated in the narration along with Busr bin Sa'id, who was raised in the care of the purified wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). Both of them narrated from Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture (of a living being)." Busr narrated that then Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) fell ill and we went to visit him at his house. There was a curtain in the house on which there were pictures. I said to Ubaidullah Khawlani, "Did he not narrate to us a hadith regarding pictures?" He replied that Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) had also said that if there are designs on cloth (and not pictures of living beings), then that is excluded from this ruling. "Did you not hear this part of the hadith?" I said, "No." He said, "Yes! Zaid also narrated this."
Brief Explanation
Imam Nawawi has written, and this is also the view of the majority of scholars, that it is forbidden (haram) to acquire any cloth upon which there is an image of a living creature and which is worn, such as clothing, a turban, or a hanging curtain that is not subject to disrespect. However, if it is on something that is subject to disrespect, such as bedding that is trampled upon, or a pillow, then acquiring it is not forbidden (haram). But even so, it still becomes an obstacle to the entry of angels into that house; in this regard, there is no difference whether that object has a shadow (i.e., is three-dimensional) or not.
