Hadith 5352

أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرٌ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا تَدْخُلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُورَةٌ " . قَالَ بُسْرٌ : ثُمَّ اشْتَكَى زَيْدٌ , فَعُدْنَاهُ ، فَإِذَا عَلَى بَابِهِ سِتْرٌ فِيهِ صُورَةٌ ، قُلْتُ لِعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ : أَلَمْ يُخْبِرْنَا زَيْدٌ عَنِ الصُّورَةِ يَوْمَ الْأَوَّلِ ؟ قَالَ : قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ : أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْهُ يَقُولُ : " إِلَّا رَقْمًا فِي ثَوْبٍ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Talhah that:` The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "The angels do not enter any house in which there is an image." Busr said: "Then Zaid fell sick and we went to visit him, and on his door there was a curtain on which there was an image. I said to 'Ubaidullah Al-Khawlani: 'Didn't Zaid tell us about images yesterday?' 'Ubaidullah said: 'Didn't you hear him say: Except for patterns on fabrics?'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
The permissible forms of embroidered images on clothing have already been discussed in the explanation of the previous hadith. By reconciling all the supporting and opposing narrations, the conclusion is that either what is meant is an image of something without a soul, or a dismembered (incomplete) image, or one that is placed in a position of disrespect.
