Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that I bought a cushion which had images on it. As soon as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it, he stood at the door and did not enter. (Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated that) I saw signs of displeasure on the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so I said,“O Messenger of Allah! I repent to Allah and seek forgiveness from His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Please tell me, what mistake have I made?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“What is this cushion?”I said,“I bought it for you so that you may sit on it and lean against it.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“But the makers of such images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, ‘Give life to what you have created.’”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said that the angels (of mercy) do not enter houses in which there are images.
