[Machine] Aisha, we had a screen that had bird sculptures on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Aisha, remove it from here because whenever I see it, it reminds me of this worldly life." And we also had a carpet that we used to wear, and it had a design made of silk fibers.

عَائِشَةُ كَانَ لَنَا سِتْرٌ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ طَيْرٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ حَوِّلِيهِ فَإِنِّي إِذَا رَأَيْتُهُ ذَكَرْتُ الدُّنْيَا وَكَانَتْ لَنَا قَطِيفَةٌ نَلْبَسُهَا تَقُولُ عَلَمُهَا حَرِيرٌ
