Angels and House Decorations

SUMMARY: Angels do not enter a house that contains a dog or a picture.

Abu Talha reported Allah's Apostle having said: Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَإِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ، اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَدْخُلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the presence of angels in our homes. According to this hadith, angels will not enter any house that has either a dog or a picture inside it. This means that if we want to invite angels into our home, we should make sure to keep it free from these two things. We can still decorate our homes with other items such as plants and flowers but should avoid having pictures or dogs inside the house. The Prophet Muhammad was teaching us here how to create an environment where angels can come and visit us regularly. He was also teaching us how important it is for us to be mindful of what we have in our homes so that we can create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility for ourselves and those around us.
