"Jibril, peace be upon him, asked permission to enter upon the Prophet [SAW] and he said: 'Come in.' He said: 'How can I come in when there is a curtain in your house on which there are images? You should either cut off their heads or make it into a rug to be stepped on, for we Angels do not enter a house in which there are images.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5365)
اسْتَأْذَنَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ أَدْخُلُ وَفِي بَيْتِكَ سِتْرٌ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ خَيْلًا وَرِجَالًا؟ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُقْطَعَ رُءُوسُهَا أَوْ تَجْعَلَ بِسَاطًا يُوطَأُ فَإِنَّا مَعْشَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ»
