So, command that the heads of the pictures be cut off so that they become like trees, and command regarding the curtain that it be cut and made into two cushions that can be trampled upon, and command regarding the dog that it be expelled.

Whenever she heard the sound of a bell or anklet in front of her, she would say: Stop. So I would remain stopped until the sound ceased. And if she heard the sound of a bell from behind her, she would say: Move quickly until this sound is no longer heard.

At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the valley of Batha.
