Chapter 12: The prayer toward a cloth containing images

باب الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى ثَوْبٍ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ

Sunnan an-Nasai 761

It was narrated that Aisha said

"In my house there was a cloth on which there were images, which I covered a closet which is in the house, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray toward it. Then he said: '0 Aisha, take it away from me.' So I removed it and made pillows out of it."

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ فِي بَيْتِي ثَوْبٌ فِيهِ تَصَاوِيرُ فَجَعَلْتُهُ إِلَى سَهْوَةٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَخِّرِيهِ عَنِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَنَزَعْتُهُ فَجَعَلْتُهُ وَسَائِدَ ‏.‏
