Sahih al-Bukhari 2105 (Book 34, Hadith 58) #2021
Disapproval of Pictures and Paintings

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) disapproved of pictures and paintings, as they will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. The angels do not enter a house where there are pictures.

Narrated Aisha: (mother of the faithful believers) I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When Allah's Messenger saw it, he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of disgust on his face, so I said, "O Allah's Messenger ! I repent to Allah and H is Apostle . (Please let me know) what sin I have done". Allah's Messenger said, "What about this cushion?" I replied, "I bought it for you to sit and recline on". Allah's Messenger said, "The painters (ie owners) of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them, 'Put life in what you have created (ie painted)'. " The Prophet added, "The angels do not enter a house where there are pictures".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ نُمْرُقَةً فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ، فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْهُ، فَعَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ، فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ مَاذَا أَذْنَبْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ النُّمْرُقَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا لَكَ لِتَقْعُدَ عَلَيْهَا وَتَوَسَّدَهَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُعَذَّبُونَ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الصُّوَرُ لاَ تَدْخُلُهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ
