Ubaidullah bin Abdullah says that once he went to visit Sayyiduna Abu Talha Ansari when he was ill, and Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunaif was also present there. During this time, Sayyiduna Abu Talha called a man who, on his order, removed the mat that was spread under him. Sayyiduna Sahl asked the reason for this, so he replied that there were pictures on it, and what the Prophet (peace be upon him) has said about this, you also know. Sayyiduna Sahl said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not make an exception for designs made on clothes. He replied: Why not, but I find comfort in it for myself.
