“The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ لاَ تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ  

“Jibril (as) promised the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he would come to him at a certain hour, but he was late. The Prophet ﷺ went out and there was Jibril standing at the door. He said: ‘What kept you from entering?’ He said: ‘There is a dog in the house, and we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.’”  

وَاعَدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فِي سَاعَةٍ يَأْتِيهِ فِيهَا فَرَاثَ عَلَيْهِ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِجِبْرِيلَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ قَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْبَيْتِ كَلْبًا وَإِنَّا لاَ نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ  

It was narrated from Abu Umamah that a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him that her husband was away on some military campaign. She asked him for permission to make an image of a palm tree in her house, and he did not let her, or he forbade her.  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا فِي بَعْضِ الْمَغَازِي فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ أَنْ تُصَوِّرَ فِي بَيْتِهَا نَخْلَةً فَمَنَعَهَا أَوْ نَهَاهَا  

“I covered a small room closet of mine, meaning, from the inside, with a curtain on which there were images. When the Prophet ﷺ came, he tore it down, so I made two pillows from it, and I saw the Prophet ﷺ reclining on one of them.”  

سَتَرْتُ سَهْوَةً لِي تَعْنِي الدَّاخِلَ بِسِتْرٍ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَتَكَهُ فَجَعَلْتُ مِنْهُ مَنْبُوذَتَيْنِ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade rings of gold and Al-Mitharah,”* meaning the red ones.  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنِ الْمِيثَرَةِ يَعْنِي الْحَمْرَاءَ  

“I heard Abu Raihanah, the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘The Prophet ﷺ used to forbid riding on leopard skins.’”  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رَيْحَانَةَ صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ رُكُوبِ النُّمُورِ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to forbid riding on leopard skins.”  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ رُكُوبِ النُّمُورِ
