It is narrated from Zaid bin Khalid that the companion of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), states that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture. Basar says: Then Zaid bin Khalid fell ill and we went to visit him and saw that there was a curtain hanging at his door, and it had a picture on it. I said to Ubaidullah Khawlani, who was raised by Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her): Did he not tell us in the past days about the condemnation of pictures? But now there is a curtain with a picture at his door. Ubaidullah said: Did you not hear that he said that decoration on cloth is permitted? Hashim said: Did Zaid not tell us in the past days that pictures are not permissible? So Ubaidullah said: Did you not hear that decoration on cloth is an exception?
