Mishkat al-Masabih 758 — Pictures disturb prayer
وَعَن أنس قَالَ: كَانَ قِرَامٌ لِعَائِشَةَ سَتَرَتْ بِهِ جَانِبَ بَيْتِهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمِيطِي عَنَّا قِرَامَكِ هَذَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَزَالُ تَصَاوِيرُهُ تَعْرِضُ لِي فِي صَلَاتِي» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Anas said that ‘A’isha had a figured curtain with which she secluded the side of her house, but the Prophet said to her, “Remove this figured curtain of yours from us, for its pictures keep interfering with my prayer.” Bukhari transmitted it.
