Thread: I repent to Allah and His Apostle

Narrated 'Aisha (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

(Mother of the faithful believers) I bought a cushion with pictures on it.
When Allah's Apostle (Peace be upon Him) saw it, he kept
standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of
disgust on his face, so I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I repent to Allah and
His Apostle . (Please let me know) what sin I have done."

Allah's Apostle (Peace be upon Him) said, "What about this
cushion?" I replied, "I bought it for you to sit and recline on." Allah's
Apostle (Peace be upon Him) said, "The painters (i.e. owners) of
these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said
to them, 'Put life in what you have created (i.e. painted).' " The Prophet
(Peace be upon Him) added, "The angels do not enter a house
where there are pictures."
