[Machine] A woman from the Banu Sulaim told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a message to Uthman ibn Talhah and said, "She asked Uthman, 'Why did the Prophet ﷺ call you?' He said, 'I had seen the horns of the ram when I entered the house but forgot to tell you to tie them up. So go and tie them up, as there should not be anything in the house that distracts the worshipper.' Sufyan said, 'The horns of the ram remained in the house until the house burned down, and they burned with it.'  

أحمد:٢٣٢٢١حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ خَالِهِ مُسَافِعٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ أُمِّ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَتْ

أَخْبَرَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَلَّدَتْ عَامَّةَ أَهْلِ دَارِنَا أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً إِنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ عُثْمَانَ لِمَ دَعَاكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ قَرْنَيِ الْكَبْشِ حِيْنَ دَخَلْتُ الْبَيْتَ فَنَسِيتُ أَنْ آمُرَكَ أَنْ تُخَمِّرَهُمَا فَخَمِّرْهُمَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي الْبَيْتِ شَيْءٌ يَشْغَلُ الْمُصَلِّيَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَمْ يَزَلْ قَرْنَا الْكَبْشِ فِي الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى احْتَرَقَ الْبَيْتُ فَاحْتَرَقَا

[Machine] A woman from the tribe of Sulaym informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a message to Uthman ibn Talhah and said, "A woman asked Uthman ibn Talhah: 'Why did the Prophet ﷺ invite you?' He replied, 'When I entered the house, I saw the two horns of a ram, and I forgot to tell you to cover them. Cover them, for there should not be anything in the house that distracts the one who is praying.'" Sufyan said, "The two horns of the ram remained in the house until the house burned down and they burned with it."

[Machine] A woman from the tribe of Sulaym informed me that she had given birth to a child from among the people of our household. She said that the Prophet ﷺ sent a message to Uthman ibn Talhah and said, "I saw the two horns of a ram when I entered the house, and I forgot to command you to slaughter them. It is not appropriate for there to be anything in the house that distracts the one who is praying."
