Muwatta Malik #1897
General Subjects
Malik related to me from Nafi from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, that she bought a cushion which had pictures on it. When the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw it,
he stopped at the door and did not enter. She recognised disapproval
on his face and said, "Messenger of Allah, I turn in repentance to
Allah and His Messenger. What have I done wrong?" The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "What is the
meaning of this cushion?" She said, "I bought it for you to sit and
recline on." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Those who make such pictures will be punished on the Day
of Rising. It will be said to them, 'Bring to life what you have
created'. Then he said, 'The angels do not enter a house in which
there are pictures.' "
