اخبرنا عبد الله بن محمد الازدي ، حدثنا إسحاق بن إبراهيم الحنظلي ، اخبرنا النضر بن شميل ، حدثنا يونس بن ابي إسحاق ، قال: سمعت مجاهدا ، يقول: حدثني ابو هريرة ، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " اتاني جبريل، فقال: إني كنت اتيتك البارحة، فلم يمنعني ان ادخل البيت الذي كنت فيه إلا انه كان في البيت تمثال رجل، وكان في البيت ستر فيه تماثيل، وكان في البيت كلب، فامر براس التمثال ان يقطع، وامر بالستر الذي فيه التمثال ان يقطع راس التمثال، وجعل منه وسادتان، وامر بالكلب فاخرج، وكان الكلب جروا للحسن والحسين تحت نضد لهم، قال: ثم اتاني جبريل، فما زال يوصيني بالجار، حتى ظننت انه سيورثه" .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibreel came to me and said: I came to you last night, but I could not enter your house because there was a picture of a man in the house." (The narrator says:) There was a curtain in the house on which a picture was made, and there was also a dog in the house. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the head of the picture be cut off, and regarding the curtain with pictures, he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the heads in the pictures be cut off, and that cushions be made from that cloth. According to his (peace and blessings be upon him) order, the dog was taken out; it was a puppy with which Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam Husain (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to play, and it was under their bed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then Jibreel came to me, and after that he continuously advised me about the neighbor until I thought he would make him an heir.
