Sahih al-Bukhari 3225
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ تَدْخُلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةُ تَمَاثِيلَ ".
Ibn Muqatil narrated to us: ʿAbd Allah informed us: Maʿmar informed us, from al-Zuhri, from ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿAbd Allah, that he heard Ibn ʿAbbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: I heard Abu Talha say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Angels do not enter a house containing a dog or an image.’
Translation notes
The English witness adds ‘of mercy’ and specifies an image of a living creature; neither qualification appears in the Arabic wording.
