The hadith of Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: ...
a house in which there is a dog or an image ... بيتًا فيهِ كلبٌ ولا صورَةٌ
Sunan Ibn Majah 3649Sahih (Darussalam)
. It was narrated by al-Bukhari, Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah. And in a narration by Muslim:
Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture or portraits لا تدخلُ الملائِكةُ بَيتًا فيهِ كلبٌ ، ولا تَماثيلُ
Sahih Muslim 2106f, 2107a
.
The difference between the narration of Muslim and the narration of the two Shaykhs is in the wording:
image صورة
and
Statues تماثيل
. We mentioned in the previous lesson what we can understand from the fact that the disagreement between the two narrations, between the narration:
image صورة
, and the narration:
Statues تماثيل
, is merely a verbal difference; because every image, linguistically, is a statue, and every statue is an image; unlike what is common today in current custom, where "statue" is specific to three-dimensional images, so these are statues, and this is how custom has proceeded in restricting "statue" to the three-dimensional image, whereas in language there is no difference between a statue and an image; so whether the image is three-dimensional or not, it is an image and it is a statue, with no difference between the two terms absolutely. So the narration of the two Shaykhs:
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image. لا تدخُل الملائكةُ بيتًا فيهِ كلبٌ ولا صورَةٌ
Sunan Ibn Majah 3649Sahih (Darussalam)
does not differ from the narration of Muslim which contains:
a dog or statues كلبٌ أو تماثيلٌ
.
