Sunan an-Nasai 761 (Book 9, Hadith 20) #15369
Images in the House of the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was initially comfortable with having images in his house, but later asked for them to be removed.

It was narrated that Aisha said: "In my house there was a cloth on which there were images, which I covered a closet which is in the house, and the Messenger of Allah used to pray toward it. Then he said: '0 Aisha, take it away from me'. So I removed it and made pillows out of it".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ فِي بَيْتِي ثَوْبٌ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ فَجَعَلْتُهُ إِلَى سَهْوَةٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَخِّرِيهِ عَنِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَنَزَعْتُهُ فَجَعَلْتُهُ وَسَائِدَ
