بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الصُّوَرِ وَالتَّمَاثِيلِ
What is Reported Regarding Images and Statues
Hadith 1762
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ إِسْحَاق بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّ رَافِعَ بْنَ إِسْحَاق مَوْلَى الشِّفَاءِ أَخْبَرَهُ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ نَعُودُهُ، فَقَالَ لَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَّ " الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ أَوْ تَصَاوِيرُ " . شَكَّ إِسْحَاق لَا يَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ؟
It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi bin Ishaq, who was the freed slave of Shifa (bint Abdullah), that I and Abdullah bin Abi Talha together went to visit Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), as he was ill. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told me: "The angels do not enter a house in which there are pictures or statues." Ishaq (the narrator) is in doubt as to which of the two Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said (pictures or statues).
Hadith 1763
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ يَعُودُهُ، قَالَ : فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ فَدَعَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِنْسَانًا فَنَزَعَ نَمَطًا مِنْ تَحْتِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ : لِمَ تَنْزِعُهُ ؟ قَالَ : " لِأَنَّ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرَ "، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ، فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ : أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِلَّا مَا كَانَ رَقْمًا فِي ثَوْبٍ "، قَالَ : بَلَى وَلَكِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُ لِنَفْسِي
It is narrated from ‘Ubaydullah bin ‘Abdullah that he went to visit Sayyiduna Abu Talhah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), and there he also saw Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunaif (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) called a man and said: "Remove the mat from beneath me." Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Why?" Sayyiduna Abu Talhah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "It has pictures on it, and you know what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has said regarding pictures." Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: 'If it is a design on cloth or something similar, then there is no harm.'" Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, that is true, but my preference is to avoid every kind of picture."
Hadith 1764
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ نُمْرُقَةً فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ عَلَى الْبَاب فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ، فَعَرَفَتْ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ، وَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَمَاذَا أَذْنَبْتُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " فَمَا بَالُ هَذِهِ النُّمْرُقَةِ ؟ " قَالَتْ : اشْتَرَيْتُهَا لَكَ تَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهَا وَتَوَسَّدُهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ يُعَذَّبُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، يُقَالُ لَهُمْ : أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الصُّوَرُ لَا تَدْخُلُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ "
Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) bought a cushion on which there were pictures. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it, he stood at the door of the room and did not enter. (Sayyida Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her) noticed signs of displeasure on the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I repent to Allah and His Messenger; what is my sin? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What is this cushion (bedding)?” Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I bought this cushion (bedding) so that you may sit on it and lean on it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Those who make pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them: Give life to what you have created in the world.” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The angels do not enter a house in which there are pictures.”
