Musnad Ahmad 647 (Book 5, Hadith 83) #34309
Angels and House Impurities

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that angels will not enter a house if there is a dog, major impurity or an image of an animate being present.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Nujayy al-Hadrami that his father said: 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said to me: I had a status with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that no one else had. l used to come to him every morning before dawn and greet him with salam until he cleared his throat. One night I came in and greeted him with salam. I said: Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah. He said: "Wait a moment, O Abu Hasan, until I come out to you". When he came out to me, I said: O Prophet of Allah, has someone upset you? He said: 'No'. I said: Why did you not speak to me in the past, but you spoke to me tonight? He said: 'I heard a sound in the room and said: 'Who is this?' He said: 'I am jibreel". I said: 'Come in. He said: 'No; come out to me'. When I came out he said: 'In your house there is something that no angel will enter so long as it is there'. I said: "I did not know, O Jibreel". He said: 'Go and look 'So I opened the door and I did not find anything apart from a puppy that al-Hasan had been playing with. I said: 'I did not find anything except a puppy'. He said: 'There are three things, no angel will enter so long as one of them is in the house: a dog, major impurity or an image of an animate being".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُجَيٍّ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَتْ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلَةٌ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ الْخَلَائِقِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ آتِيهِ كُلَّ سَحَرٍ فَأُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَتَنَحْنَحَ وَإِنِّي جِئْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ يَا أَبَا حَسَنٍ حَتَّى أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْكَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَيَّ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَغْضَبَكَ أَحَدٌ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَمَا لَكَ لَا تُكَلِّمُنِي فِيمَا مَضَى حَتَّى كَلَّمْتَنِي اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ حَرَكَةً فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ أَنَا جِبْرِيلُ قُلْتُ ادْخُلْ قَالَ لَا اخْرُجْ إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتُ قَالَ إِنَّ فِي بَيْتِكَ شَيْئًا لَا يَدْخُلُهُ مَلَكٌ مَا دَامَ فِيهِ قُلْتُ مَا أَعْلَمُهُ يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ فَفَتَحْتُ الْبَيْتَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ جَرْوِ كَلْبٍ كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ الْحَسَنُ قُلْتُ مَا وَجَدْتُ إِلَّا جَرْوًا قَالَ إِنَّهَا ثَلَاثٌ لَنْ يَلِجَ مَلَكٌ مَا دَامَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا كَلْبٌ أَوْ جَنَابَةٌ أَوْ صُورَةُ رُوحٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of keeping one's home clean and free from certain things. It was narrated by 'Abdullah bin Nujayy al-Hadrami that his father said that Ali said to him that he had a special status with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He used to come to him every morning before dawn and greet him with salam until he cleared his throat. One night, when he came in, the Prophet asked who it was before responding to his greeting. When Ali told him it was himself, Jibreel appeared and told the Prophet that no angel would enter so long as there was a dog, major impurity or an image of an animate being in the house. Ali then went back home and found only a puppy which Hasan had been playing with. The lesson here is clear; we must keep our homes clean from any kind of impurities so as not to prevent angels from entering our homes. We should also be mindful of what we bring into our homes such as images or statues which could potentially cause harm if left unchecked.
