أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، نا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَبِي الْحُبَابِ مَوْلَى بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا تَدْخُلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلَا تَمَاثِيلُ " قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: إِنَّ هَذَا يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلَا تَمَاثِيلُ "، فَهَلْ سَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَتْ: لَا وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ فَعَلَ، رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ فِي غَزَاتِهِ فَأَخَذْتُ نَمَطًا فَسَتَرْتُهُ عَلَى الْبَابِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ فَرَأَى النَّمَطَ عَرَفْتُ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَجَذَبَهُ حَتَّى هَتَكَهُ وَقَطَّعَهُ وَقَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا أَنْ نَكْسُوَ الْحِجَارَةَ وَالطِّينَ " قَالَتْ: فَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ وِسَادَتَيْنِ وَحَشَوْتُهُمَا لِيفًا فَلَمْ يَعِبْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَرَوَاهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ فَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: الْحِجَارَةُ وَاللَّبِنُ، وَهَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ تَدُلُّ عَلَى كَرَاهِيَةِ كِسْوَةِ الْجِدَارِ وَإِنْ كَانَ سَبَبُ اللَّفْظِ فِيمَا رُوِّينَا مِنْ طُرُقِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ كَانَتْ لِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ التَّمَاثِيلِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Talhah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture." He said: I came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said to her: "This man tells me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or images.' Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mention that?" She said: "No, but I will tell you what I saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) do. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out on one of his expeditions, and I took a curtain and hung it over the door. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned and saw the curtain, I perceived dislike in his (peace and blessings be upon him) face. He (peace and blessings be upon him) pulled it until he tore it and cut it, and said: 'Allah did not command us to clothe stones and clay.'" She said: "We made two cushions out of it and stuffed them with palm fibre, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not find fault with me for that."
In the narration of Suhayl the words are "stones and bricks", and these indicate that covering walls with curtains is disliked, although (the context of) the other narrations shows that the dislike was because of the images.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ⦗٤٤٤⦘ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نا الْعَبَّاسُ الدُّورِيُّ، نا عَفَّانُ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، نا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: دُعِيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَأَى الْبَيْتَ مُنَجَّدًا فَقَعَدَ خَارِجًا وَبَكَى قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا شَيَّعَ جَيْشًا فَبَلَغَ عُقْبَةَ الْوَدَاعِ قَالَ: " أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ دِينَكُمْ وَأَمَانَاتِكُمْ وَخَوَاتِيمَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ " قَالَ: فَرَأَى رَجُلًا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَدْ رَقَعَ بُرْدَةً لَهُ بِقِطْعَةٍ قَالَ: فَاسْتَقْبَلَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا وَمَدَّ يَدَيْهِ وَمَدَّ عَفَّانُ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ " تَطَالَعَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَيْ أَقْبَلَتْ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ إِذَا غَدَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ قَصْعَةٌ وَرَاحَتْ أُخْرَى وَيَغْدُو أَحَدُكُمْ فِي حُلَّةٍ وَيَرُوحُ فِي أُخْرَى وَتَسْتُرُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تُسْتَرُ الْكَعْبَةُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ: أَفَلَا أَبْكِي وَقَدْ بَقِيتُ حَتَّى تَسْتُرُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تُسْتَرُ الْكَعْبَةُ.
Muhammad bin Ka'b (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) was invited to a meal. When he saw the adornment of the house, he sat outside and began to weep. He was asked: "What has made you weep?" He said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw off an army and reached the place of farewell, he would say: 'Astawdi'ullaha dinakum wa amanatikum wa khawatima a'malikum' (I entrust to Allah your religion, your trusts and the final outcomes of your deeds). He said: One day he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man whose cloak was patched with a piece of cloth. He turned towards the place where the sun rises and spread out his hands like this, and Affan spread out his hands to show it, and said: "The world has come upon you in abundance," three times, until we thought it would fall upon us. Then he said: "Are you better today, or when one bowl is brought to you in the morning and another in the evening, and one of you goes out in the morning in one suit of clothes and in the evening in another, and you cover your houses with curtains just as the Ka'bah is covered?" Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Should I not weep, when I have lived until you cover your houses with curtains just as the Ka'bah is covered?"
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ الْعُطَارِدِيُّ، نا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الضَّبِّيُّ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَرَفًا، وَأَشْرَفُ الْمَجَالِسِ مَا اسْتُقْبِلَ بِهِ الْقِبْلَةَ، لَا تُصَلُّوا خَلْفَ نَائِمٍ وَلَا مُتَحَدِّثٍ، وَاقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّةَ وَالْعَقْرَبَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ، وَلَا تَسْتُرُوا الْجُدُرَ بِالثَّوْبِ " وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ مُنْقَطِعٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ذَلِكَ إِسْنَادٌ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates a marfu' hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Everything has a place of honour, and the most honourable of gatherings is the one in which one faces the qiblah. Do not pray behind one who is sleeping or one who is talking. Kill the snake and the scorpion even if you are in your prayer. And do not cover walls with cloth."
This has also been narrated through another, broken (munqati') chain, and no chain on this is established.

Ali bin Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade covering walls by hanging curtains on them.

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، نا بَحْرٌ، نا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ: عَرَّسْتُ ابْنًا لِي فَدَعَوْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، فَلَمَّا وَقَفَا عَلَى الْبَابِ رَأَى عُبَيْدُ اللهِ الْبَيْتَ قَدْ سُتِرَ بِالدِّيبَاجِ فَرَجَعَ وَدَخَلَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَقَدْ مَقَتَنِي حِينَ انْصَرَفَ فَقُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ وَاللهِ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَشَيْءٌ مَا صَنَعْتُهُ وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا شَيْءٌ صَنَعَتْهُ النِّسَاءُ وَغَلَبُونَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا زَوَّجَ ابْنَهُ سَالِمًا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ عُرْسِهِ دَعَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ نَاسًا، فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ عَلَى الْبَابِ رَأَى أَبُو ⦗٤٤٥⦘ أَيُّوبَ فِي الْبَيْتِ سِتْرًا مِنْ قَزٍّ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ فَعَلْتُمُوهَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَدْ سَتَرْتُمُ الْجُدُرَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَفِي غَيْرِ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ قَالَ: دَعَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ فَرَأَى فِي الْبَيْتِ سِتْرًا عَلَى الْجِدَارِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: غَلَبَنَا عَلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ كُنْتُ أَخْشَى عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكَ وَاللهِ لَا أَطْعَمُ لَكَ طَعَامًا فَرَجَعَ.
Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I held a wedding feast for my son and invited al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) and Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah have mercy on him). When the two of them reached the door, Ubaydullah (may Allah have mercy on him) saw that the house had been hung with silk curtains, so he went back, but al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) went into the house. I said: "By Allah, he has become displeased with me by going back." I said: "May Allah set you right; by Allah, I did not do this; it was the women who did it and overpowered us in it." He said: (Al-Qasim narrated to me that) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) arranged the marriage of his son Salim, and he invited people to the wedding, among them Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). When Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the house adorned with silk curtains, he stopped at the door of the house and said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman! You have done this, that you have hung curtains on the walls!" Then he left. In another narration: Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) invited Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) saw curtains hanging on the walls in the house, and Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The women got the better of us." Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever I feared for, I did not fear for you. By Allah, I will not eat your food." (And he went back.)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الْهَرَوِيُّ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، نا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: تَزَوَّجَ سَلْمَانُ إِلَى أَبِي قُرَّةَ الْكِنْدِيِّ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ: يَا هَذِهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَوْصَانِي إِنْ قَضَى اللهُ لَكَ أَنْ تَزَوَّجَ فَيَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ عَلَيْهِ طَاعَةٌ " فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّكَ جَلَسْتَ مَجْلِسَ الْمَرْءِ يُطَاعُ أَمْرُهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا: قُومِي نُصَلِّي وَنَدْعُو فَفَعَلَا فَرَأَى بَيْتًا مُسْتَتِرًا فَقَالَ: مَا بَالُ بَيْتِكُمْ مَحْمُومٌ أَوَ تَحَوَّلَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ فِي كِنْدَةَ؟ فَقَالُوا: لَيْسَ بِمَحْمُومٍ وَلَمْ تَتَحَوَّلِ الْكَعْبَةُ فِي كِنْدَةَ فَقَالَ: لَا أَدْخُلُهُ حَتَّى تُهْتَكَ كُلُّ سِتْرٍ إِلَّا سِتْرًا عَلَى الْبَابِ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَرُوِّينَا فِي كَرَاهِيَةِ ذَلِكَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ السَّرَفِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Ibn Jurayj said: Salman married into the family of Abu Qurrah al-Kindi. When he went in to her, he said: "O woman! the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me: 'If Allah decrees for you that you marry, then let the first thing you both come together upon be obedience.'" She said: "You have sat in the seat of a man whose command is obeyed." He said to her: "Get up, let us pray and supplicate." So they did so. Then he saw that the house was covered with curtains and said: "What is wrong with your house? Does it have a fever, or has the Ka'bah moved to Kindah?" They said: "It does not have a fever, and the Ka'bah has not moved to Kindah." He said: "I will not enter it until every curtain is torn down, except the curtain over the door."
This is munqati' (has a broken chain). Its dislike has also been narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and it seems that this was because of the extravagance in it.
