"We had a curtain on which there were images of birds, at the entrance to the house. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'O 'Aishah, remove it, for ever time I come in and see it, I remember this world.'" She said: "We had a plush wrap, with a border on it, that we would wear, and it was not cut off." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5353)
كَانَ لَنَا سِتْرٌ فِيهِ تِمْثَالُ طَائِرٍ فَكَانَ الدَّاخِلُ إِذَا دَخَلَ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ حَوِّلِي هَذَا فَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَخَلْتُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ ذَكَرْتُ الدُّنْيَا وَكَانَتْ لنا قَطِيفَةٌ كُنَّا نَقُولُ عَلَمُهَا مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَكُنَّا نَلْبَسُهَا
