Khaulani who was brought up in the house of Maimuna the wife of the Prophet. Zaid narrated to them
that Abu Talha said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there
is a picture.” Busr said, “Later on Zaid bin Khalid fell ill and we called on him. To our surprise we
saw a curtain decorated with pictures in his house. I said to Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani, “Didn’t he (i.e.
Zaid) tell us about the (prohibition of) pictures?” He said, “But he excepted the embroidery on
garments. Didn’t you hear him?” I said, “No.” He said, “Yes, he did.”
