[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me while I had covered myself with a blanket on which there were statues. When he saw them, his face changed color and he tore them apart with his hand, saying, "Indeed, the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be for those who make images resembling the creation of Allah." Ishaaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, he said: Sufyan reported to us on the authority of Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Qasim, on his father the narration of Aisha in the same context, and she said: We cut them and made them into cushions or two cushions.

bukhari:5954 – ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Sufyān > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Qāsim And Mā Bi-al-Madīnah Yawmaʾidh Afḍal Minh from my father > ʿĀʾishah

Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from a journey when I had placed a curtain of mine having pictures over (the door of) a chamber of mine. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw it, he tore it and said, "The people who will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be those who try to make the like of Allah's creations." So we turned it (i.e., the curtain) into one or two cushions.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited me. and I had a shelf with a thin cloth curtain hangin. over it and on which there were portraits. No sooner did he see it than he tore it and the colour of his face underwent a change and he said: A'isha, the most grievous torment from the Hand of Allah on the Day of Resurrection would be for those who imitate (Allah) in the act of His creation. A'isha said: We tore it into pieces and made a cushion or two cushions out of that.

[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."
