Sahih Muslim 2107n (Book 37, Hadith 146) #12631
Prohibiting Pictures in the House

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the prohibition of having pictures in one's house, as it is considered a sin and will be punished by Allah.

A'isha reported that she bought a carpet which had pictures on it. When Allah's Messenger saw that, he stayed at the door and did not get in. I perceived or I was made to perceive upon his face signs of disgust. She said: Allah's Messenger, I offer repentance to Allah and His Messenger. (but tell me) what is the sin that I have committed. Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: What is this carpet? She said: I bought it for you so that you might sit on it and take rest. Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: The owners of these pictures would be tormented and they would be asked to bring to life what they tried to create. He then said: Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ نُمْرَقَةً فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَعَرَفْتُ أَوْ فَعُرِفَتْ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَمَاذَا أَذْنَبْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ النُّمْرُقَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتِ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا لَكَ تَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهَا وَتَوَسَّدُهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ يُعَذَّبُونَ وَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الصُّوَرُ لاَ تَدْخُلُهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that it is forbidden to have pictures in one's house, as it is considered a sin and will be punished by Allah. According to this hadith, when Prophet Muhammad saw a carpet with pictures on it, he was disgusted and refused to enter the house. He then explained that those who create such images will be asked to bring them back to life on Judgment Day and they would be punished for their actions. Furthermore, angels do not enter houses with such images present. This teaches us that we should avoid having any kind of picture or image in our homes as they are seen as sinful acts according to Islamic teachings. We should also strive to keep our homes free from any form of idolatry or shirk which can lead us astray from worshipping Allah alone.
