حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ لاَ تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُورَةٌ. قَالَ بُسْرٌ: ثُمَّ اشْتَكَى زَيْدٌ بَعْدُ ، فَعُدْنَاهُ فَإِذَا عَلَى بَابِهِ سِتْرٌ فِيهِ صُورَةٌ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِعُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ ، رَبِيبِ مَيْمُونَةَ ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَلَمْ يُخْبِرْنَا زَيْدٌ عَنِ الصُّوَرِ يَوْمَ الأَوَّلِ ؟ فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ : أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْهُ حِينَ قَالَ : إِلاَّ رَقْمًا فِي ثَوْبٍ.

It was narrated that Abu Talhah, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'The angels do not enter a house in which there is an image."' Busr said: "Then Zaid fell sick after that, and we visited him, and at his door there was a curtain with an image on it. I said to 'Ubaidullah Al-Khawlani, who was raised· by Maimunah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w): 'Did Zaid not tell us about images yesterday?' 'Ubaidullah said: 'Did you not hear him when he said: "Except patterns on cloth?"
