(the wife of the Prophet) I bought a cushion having on it pictures (of animals). When Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw it, he stood at the door and did not enter. I noticed the sign of disapproval on his face and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I repent to Allah and His Apostle. What sin have I committed?' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. "What is this cushion?" I said, "I have bought it for you so that you may sit on it and recline on it." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, 'Give life to what you have created (i.e., these pictures).' " The Prophet ﷺ added, "The Angels of (Mercy) do not enter a house in which there are pictures (of animals).
