It is narrated from Najji Hadhrami, he says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Among the people, the honor I had with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was not given to anyone else. I used to visit him every time at suhoor (pre-dawn), and when I greeted him with salam, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would clear his throat. One night I came and, while greeting, said: O Prophet of Allah! Peace be upon you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu Hasan! Wait a little, do not enter until I come out. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, I said: O Prophet of Allah! Has someone angered you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. I said: What is the matter that before this you would not speak to me, but only gesture, and tonight you spoke? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Actually, the matter is that I heard some movement in the chamber, so I said: Who is it? He said: I am Jibreel. I said: Enter. He said: No, I will not enter, you come out yourself. When I came out, he said: There is something in your room, as long as it is there, I cannot enter. I said: O Jibreel! I do not know what that thing is. He said: Go and see. So I opened the door and saw that there was a puppy in the house, with which Hasan was playing. I said: There is only a puppy in the house. He said: There are three things, as long as they are present, an angel will not enter that place: a dog, a person in a state of janabah, and an image of a living being.
