وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ نُمْرُقَةً فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَعَرَفَتْ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ وَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَمَاذَا أَذْنَبْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَمَا بَالُ هَذِهِ النُّمْرُقَةِ " . قَالَتِ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا لَكَ تَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهَا وَتَوَسَّدُهَا . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ يُعَذَّبُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الصُّوَرُ لاَ تَدْخُلُهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ " .
Malik related to me from Nafi from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad fromA'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, that she bought a cushion which had pictures on it. When theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw it,he stopped at the door and did not enter. She recognised disapprovalon his face and said, "Messenger of Allah, I turn in repentance toAllah and His Messenger. What have I done wrong?" The Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "What is themeaning of this cushion?" She said, "I bought it for you to sit andrecline on." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, said, "Those who make such pictures will be punished on the Dayof Rising. It will be said to them, 'Bring to life what you havecreated'. Then he said, 'The angels do not enter a house in whichthere are pictures.' " Translation Not Available
