أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
اسْتَأْذَنَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ أَدْخُلُ وَفِي بَيْتِكَ سِتْرٌ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ خَيْلًا وَرِجَالًا؟ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُقْطَعَ رُءُوسُهَا أَوْ تَجْعَلَ بِسَاطًا يُوطَأُ فَإِنَّا مَعْشَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ»

✧ Jibril asked permission to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, 'How can I enter when in your house there is a curtain with images of horses and men? Either cut off their heads or make it into a floor covering to be trodden upon, for we, the company of angels, do not enter a house in which there are images.'
