Sahih al-Bukhari 5733 (Book 77, Hadith 177)
I bought a cushion having pictures on it. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saw it, he stopped at the gate and did
not enter. I noticed the signs of hatred (for that) on his face! I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I turn to Allah
and His Apostle in repentance! What sin have I committed?” He said, “What about this cushion?” I
said, ‘I bought it for you to sit on and recline on.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The makers of these pictures
will be punished (severely) on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to them, ‘Make alive what
you have created.'” He added, “Angels do not enter a house in which there are pictures.”
