Prohibiting Images

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the prohibition of images and how it is better to avoid them even if they are on a garment.

Narrated Abu An-Nadr: From 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah, that he entered upon Abu Talhah Al-Ansari to pay him a visit (while he was ill), and he found Sahl bin Hunaif with him. He said: "Abu Talhah called for someone to remove a sheet that was under him. Sahl said to him: 'Why did you remove it?' He replied: 'Because it contains images on it, and the Prophet said about them what you know'. Sahl said: 'Do he not say: Except for markings on a garment?' He said: 'Yes, but this is better to me'." Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ يَعُودُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَهُ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَدَعَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِنْسَانًا يَنْزِعُ نَمَطًا تَحْتَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَهْلٌ لِمَ تَنْزِعُهُ فَقَالَ لأَنَّ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرَ وَقَدْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَهْلٌ أَوَلَمْ يَقُلْ ‏ "‏ إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ رَقْمًا فِي ثَوْبٍ ‏"‏ فَقَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُ لِنَفْسِي ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of avoiding images. It was narrated by Abu An-Nadr from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah that he visited Abu Talhah Al-Ansari while he was ill and found Sahl bin Hunaif with him. Abu Talhah called for someone to remove a sheet that was under him because it contained images on it. Sahl asked why he removed it and Abu Talhah replied that the Prophet said what we know about them. Sahl then asked if the Prophet did not say except for markings on a garment, to which Abu Talhah replied yes but this is better to me. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih which means that it has been authenticated as an accurate narration of what happened in history and can be used as an example for us today. The main point here is that we should avoid images even if they are on clothing or garments because this will bring us closer to Allah's pleasure and reward in the hereafter.
