Hadith 24218

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ عَزْرَةَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : كَانَ لَنَا سِتْرٌ فِيهِ تِمْثَالُ طَائِرٍ ، فَكَانَ الدَّاخِلُ إِذَا دَخَلَ ، اسْتَقْبَلَهُ ، فَقَال لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا عَائِشَةُ ، حَوِّلِي هَذَا ، فَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَخَلْتُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ ، ذَكَرْتُ الدُّنْيَا " ، وَكَانَتْ لَنا قَطِيفَةٌ ، كُنَّا نَقُولُ عَلَمُهَا مِنْ حَرِيرٍ ، فَكُنَّا نَلْبَسُهَا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that we had a curtain on which there was a picture of a bird. Whenever someone entered the house, the first thing they would see was that curtain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Aisha! Change this curtain. Whenever I enter the house and my eyes fall upon it, the world comes to my mind." Similarly, we had a sheet about which we used to say that its designs were of silk, and we used to wear it.
