[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has returned from a journey and I had covered the idols I had in sahwa (a place to rest) with a cloth. When he saw them, he tore them apart and said, "The severest punishment on the Day of Judgment will be for those who try to imitate the creation of Allah." She (the narrator) said, "So we cut it into pieces and made cushions or two cushions from it."  

ؓ تَقُولُ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ سَفَرٍ وَقَدْ سَتَرْتُ بِقِرَامٍ عَلَى سَهْوَةٍ لِي فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ هَتَكَهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يُضَاهُونَ بِخَلْقِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَقَطَعْنَاهُ فَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُ وِسَادَةً أَوْ وِسَادَتَيْنِ  

I then tore it and prepared two cushions out of that. A person who was then in that company and whose name was Rabi'a b. 'Ata, the freed slave of Banu Zuhra, asked: Did you hear Abu Mabammad making a mention of A'isha having stated that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recline upon them? lbn al-Qasim said: No, but I heard Qasim b. Muhammad saying so. (Using translation from Muslim 2107m)   

زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا نَصَبَتْ سِتْرًا فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَزَعَهُ فَقَطَعَهُ وِسَادَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ حِينَئِذٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي زُهْرَةَ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْتَفِعُ عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ لَا قَالَ لَكِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يُرِيدُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا قَالَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ لَكَأَنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered and there was a curtain with pictures on it. I noticed anger on his face, then he came and tore it down. I took it and made it into two armrests. He used to rest his elbows on them in the house.  

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا سِتْرٌ فِيهِ صُوَرٌ قَالَتْ فَعَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْغَضَبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَهَتَكَهُ قَالَتْ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَجَعَلْتُهُ مِرْفَقَتَيْنِ قَالَتْ فَكَانَ يَرْتَفِقُ بِهِمَا فِي الْبَيْتِ ﷺ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Gabriel ﷺ came to me and said: I came to you last night and was prevented from entering simply because there were images at the door, for there was a decorated curtain with images on it in the house, and there was a dog in the house. So order the head of the image which is in the house to be cut off so that it resembles the form of a tree; order the curtain to be cut up and made into two cushions spread out on which people may tread; and order the dog to be turned out. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then did so. The dog belonged to al-Hasan or al-Husayn and was under their couch. So he ordered it to be turned out. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadd means a thing on which clothes are placed like a couch. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4158)   

اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ عَلَيْكَ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ فِيهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ فِي بَابِ الْبَيْتِ تِمْثَالُ رَجُلٍ وَسِتْرٌ فِيهِ تِمْثَالٌ وَكَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ جِرْوٌ فَمُرْ بِرَأْسِ التِّمْثَالِ الَّذِي فِي الْبَيْتِ فَلْيُقْطَعْ وَمُرْ بِالسِّتْرِ فَلْيُقْطَعْ وَلْتَجْعَلْ مِنْهُ وِسَادَتَيْنِ تُبْتَذَلَانِ وَتُوطَآنِ وَمُرْ بِالْكَلْبِ فَلْيُخْرَجْ فَفَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ أَوْ جِرْوٌ لِلْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ ؓ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأُخْرِجَ  

[Machine] That Gabriel ﷺ came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recognized his voice, so he said, "Enter." He said, "In the house, there is a curtain on the wall with statues. Cut off their heads and make them into cushions or mattresses and trample on them, for we do not enter a house with statues, and likewise..."  

أَنَّ جِبْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ ادْخُلْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْبَيْتِ سِتْرًا فِي الْحَائِطِ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَاقْطَعُوا رُءُوسَهَا وَاجْعَلُوهُ بُسُطًا أَوْ وَسَائِدَ فَأَوْطِئُوهُ فَإِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "O father of Abbas, I am a person whose livelihood is only through the work of my hands. I create these images." Ibn Abbas said to him, "Lower your voice, lower your voice! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'Whoever creates an image in this world will be ordered on the Day of Resurrection to breathe life into it, and he will not be able to.' He would have a severe penalty for this action, and he said, 'Woe to you! If you insist on creating, then restrict yourself to trees and that which does not have a soul.'"  

يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ إِنِّي إِنْسَانٌ إِنَّمَا مَعِيشَتِي مِنْ صَنْعَةِ يَدِي إِنِّي أَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ادْنُهُ ادْنُهُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا كُلِّفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ قَالَ فَرَبَا لَهَا الرَّجُلُ رَبْوَةً شَدِيدَةً وَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ إِنْ أَبَيْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالشَّجَرِ وَمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُوحٌ  

[Machine] The head is the image, so when the head is cut off, it is not in the form of an image.  

الصُّورَةُ الرَّأْسُ فَإِذَا قُطِعَ الرَّأْسُ فَلَيْسَ بِصُورَةٍ  

[Machine] They hated the erecting of statues, and they did not see any harm in what was stepped on by feet.  

كَانُوا يَكْرَهُونَ مَا نُصِبَ مِنَ التَّمَاثِيلِ نَصْبًا وَلَا يَرَوْنَ بِمَا وَطِئَتْهُ الْأَقْدَامُ بَأْسًا  

[Machine] Indeed, didn't you see how I burned it with fire? So when he came out, he said, "Take off this garment from me and cut the heads of these statues in the palace." So he cut them.  

لَا جَرَمَ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ أُحَرِّقُهَا بِالنَّارِ؟ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ انْزِعُوا هَذَا الثَّوْبَ عَنِّي وَاقْطَعُوا رُءُوسَ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ الَّتِي فِي الْكَانُونِ فَقَطَعَهَا
