Ubaidullah bin Abdullah narrates that I came to Sayyiduna Abu Talha Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) to visit him during his illness. I found Sahl bin Hunaif with him. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) called a man, and he removed a sheet from beneath him. Sayyiduna Sahl said to him: Why are you removing it? He replied: There are pictures on it, and you already know what the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has said regarding pictures. Sahl said: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has made an exception for pictures on cloth. He said: That is correct, but my heart is content this way.
