Sahih Muslim Book - 37, Hadith - 5520

قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ هَذَا يُخْبِرُنِي ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لاَ تَدْخُلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ تَمَاثِيلُ فَهَلْ سَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : لاَ ، وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ فَعَلَ ، رَأَيْتُهُ خَرَجَ فِي غَزَاتِهِ ، فَأَخَذْتُ نَمَطًا فَسَتَرْتُهُ عَلَى الْبَابِ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ فَرَأَى النَّمَطَ ، عَرَفْتُ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، فَجَذَبَهُ حَتَّى هَتَكَهُ ، أَوْ قَطَعَهُ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا أَنْ نَكْسُوَ الْحِجَارَةَ وَالطِّينَ قَالَتْ فَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ وِسَادَتَيْنِ وَحَشَوْتُهُمَا لِيفًا ، فَلَمْ يَعِبْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ.

I (Zaid) came to 'Aishah and said: "This man told me that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or images.' Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say that?" She said: "No, but I will tell you what I saw him do. I saw him go out on his campaign, and I took a blanket and hung it over the door. When he came back and saw the blanket, I saw displeasure in his face. He pulled it down and tore it or cut it, and said: 'Allah has not commanded us to clothe stones and clay."' She said: "We cut it up and made two pillows with it, and I stuffed them with palm fibres, and he did not criticize me for that."
