The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Jibreel came to me and said, 'I came to you last night, and nothing prevented me from entering except that there were figures at the door, and in the house there was a curtain with figures on it, and in the house there was a dog. So order that the head of the figure in the house be cut off so that it becomes like the shape of a tree, and order that the curtain be cut and made into two cushions to be cast down and trodden upon, and order that the dog be put out.'"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did so, and the dog turned out to belong to Hasan or Husayn, lying under a piece of their furniture, so he ordered it to be put out.
قال رسول الله ﷺ: أتاني جبريل عليه السلام، فقال لي: أتيتك البارحة فلم يمنعني أن أكون دخلت إلا أنه كان على الباب تماثيل، وكان في البيت قرام ستر فيه تماثيل، وكان في البيت كلب، فمر برأس التمثال الذي في البيت يقطع، فيصير كهيئة الشجرة، ومر بالستر فليقطع، فليجعل منه وسادتين منبوذتين توطآن، ومر بالكلب فليخرج، ففعل رسول الله ﷺ، وإذا الكلب لحسن أو حسين كان تحت نضد لهم، فأمر به فأخرج.
Reported by Abu Dawud (4158), Tirmidhi (2806), and Ahmad (8045), and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (5854), all of them from the hadith of Yunus bin Abu Ishaq, from Mujahid, from Abu Hurairah, who narrated it. Its chain is hasan because of Yunus bin Abu Ishaq, for he is hasan al-hadith, except that he added to the story the presence of statues on the door, and this addition is not corroborated by others.It was also reported by Nasai (5365) from the hadith of Abu Ishaq, from Mujahid, from Abu Hurairah, who said, Jibreel sought permission to enter upon the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, "Come in." Jibreel said, "How can I come in when there is a curtain in your house with pictures on it? Either cut off their heads, or make it into a rug to be walked on, for we, the company of angels, do not enter a house that has pictures in it." Its chain is sahih.As for his saying "nadad," Abu Dawud said, "The nadad is something on which clothes are placed, resembling a bed frame."
