[Machine] That the angel Gabriel ﷺ came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ , and the Prophet recognized his voice. The angel said, "Enter." The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is a curtain in the house with images on the wall. Cut off their heads and make them into a mat or cushions, or simply cover them with a cloth, for we do not enter a house with images."  

أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَرَفَ صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ ادْخُلْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْبَيْتِ سِتْرًا فِي الْحَائِطِ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَاقْطَعُوا رُءُوسَهَا وَاجْعَلُوه بِسَاطًا أَوْ وَسَائِدَفَأَوْطَئُوهُ فَإِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ  

[Machine] Gabriel ﷺ came to the Prophet ﷺ , and in the house of the Prophet ﷺ , there was a curtain with images of statues on it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Enter (the house)." Gabriel ﷺ said, "We do not enter a house that has statues in it. However, if you must, then cut off their heads or cut them into pieces and make them into rugs."  

أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَفِي بَيْتِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ سِتْرٌ مُصَوِّرٌ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ادْخُلْ فَقَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَابُدَّ جَاعِلًا فِي بَيْتِكَ فَاقْطَعْ رُءُوسَهَا أَوِ اقْطَعْهَا وَسَائِدَ وَاجْعَلْهَا بُسُطًا»  

"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»
