Narrated Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) I bought a cushion having on it pictures (of animals). When Allah’s
Apostle saw it, he stood at the door and did not enter. I noticed the sign of disapproval on his face
and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I repent to Allah and His Apostle. What sin have I committed?’ Allah’s
Apostle said. “What is this cushion?” I said, “I have bought it for you so that you may sit on it and re –
cline on it.” Allah’s Apostle said, “The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resur –
rection, and it will be said to them, ‘Give life to what you have created (i.e., these pictures).’ ” The
Prophet added, “The Angels of (Mercy) do not enter a house in which there are pictures (of animals).”
