Sunan an-Nasai 5349 (Book 48, Hadith 310) #19881
Prohibiting Images and Patterns on Fabrics

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the prohibition of images and how it applies to patterns on fabrics.

It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah that: He entered upon Abu Talhah Al-Ansari to visit him (when he was sick), and he found Sahl bin Hunaif there. Abu Talhah told someone to remove a blanket from beneath him, and Sahl said to him: "Why do you want to remove it?" He said: "Because there are images on it, and the Messenger of Allah SAW said what you know concerning them". He said: "Did he not say: Except for patterns on fabrics?" He said: "Yes, but this makes me feel more comfortable".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ يَعُودُهُ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ فَأَمَرَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِنْسَانًا يَنْزِعُ نَمَطًا تَحْتَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَهْلٌ لِمَ تَنْزِعُ قَالَ لأَنَّ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ وَقَدْ قَالَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ ‏ "‏ إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ رَقْمًا فِي ثَوْبٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُ لِنَفْسِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of images, which is a concept that has been discussed in Islam for centuries. The Prophet Muhammad [SAW] said that it is forbidden to make or keep images, except for patterns on fabrics. In this hadith, we see an example of this rule being applied when Abu Talhah Al-Ansari wanted to remove a blanket with images on it from beneath him while he was sick and Sahl bin Hunaif reminded him that the Prophet [SAW] allowed patterns on fabrics. This shows us that even though we are not allowed to make or keep images, there are exceptions when it comes to certain types of fabric designs. We can learn from this hadith that we should be mindful of what kind of decorations we have in our homes and be careful not to violate any Islamic laws regarding them.
