Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا فِي بَعْضِ الْمَغَازِي فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ أَنْ تُصَوِّرَ فِي بَيْتِهَا نَخْلَةً فَمَنَعَهَا أَوْ نَهَاهَا .
Translation
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him that her husband was away on a military campaign. She asked his permission to make an image of a palm tree in her house, but he refused or forbade her.
