Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ عَزْرَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ لَنَا قِرَامُ سِتْرٍ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ عَلَى بَابِي فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ انْزِعِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُذَكِّرُنِي الدُّنْيَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ لَنَا سَمَلُ قَطِيفَةٍ عَلَمُهَا مِنْ حَرِيرٍ كُنَّا نَلْبَسُهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏

Aishah reported: “We had a curtain with images on it hanging at my door. The Messenger of Allah saw it and said, ‘Take it down, for it reminds me of worldly life.’” She added: “We had an old velvet garment with a silk border that we used to wear.” Abu Isa graded this route hasan sahih gharib.
