Khalid al-Juhani , from Abu Talhah al-Ansari who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:Sahih Muslim 2106f, 2107a . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
Q 8: Is there a prohibition against covering the walls with a curtain ?
A 8: Yes, based on what Muslim narrated in his (Sahih) from the hadith of Zayd ibn
Khalid al-Juhani , from Abu Talhah al-Ansari who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture or portraits. I came to 'A'isha and said to her: This is a news that I have received that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had said: Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture or a dog, (and further added) whether she had heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) making a mention of it. She said: No (I did not hear this myself), but I narrate to you what I saw him doing. I bear testimony to the fact that he (the Holy Prophet) set out for an expedition. I took a carpet and screened the door with it. When he (the Holy Prophet) came back he saw that carpet and I perceived signs of disapproval on his face. He pulled it until it was torn or it was cut (into pieces) and he said: God has not commanded us to clothe stones and clay. We cut it (the curtain) and prepared two pillowa out of it by stuffing them with the fibre of date-palms and he (the Holy Prophet) did not find fault with it.
لا تدخل الملائكة بيتًا فيه كلب ولا تماثيل، قال: فأتيت عائشة فقلت: إن هذا يخبرني أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: لا تدخل الملائكة بيتًا فيه كلب ولا تماثيل فهل سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذكر ذلك، فقالت: لا، ولكن سأحدثكم ما رأيته فعل: رأيته خرج في غزاته فأخذت نمطًا فسترته على الباب، فلما قدم فرأى النمط عرفت الكراهية في وجهه، فجذبه حتى هتكه أو قطعه، وقال: إن الله لم يأمرنا أن نكسو الحجارة والطين قالت: فقطعنا منه وسادتين وحشوتهما ليفًا، فلم يعب ذلك علي
