Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ عَزْرَةَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ لَنَا سِتْرٌ فِيهِ تِمْثَالُ طَائِرٍ فَكَانَ الدَّاخِلُ إِذَا دَخَلَ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا عَائِشَةُ حَوِّلِي هَذَا فَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَخَلْتُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ ذَكَرْتُ الدُّنْيَا وَكَانَتْ لَهُ قَطِيفَةٌ كُنَّا نَقُولُ عَلَمُهَا مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَكُنَّا نَلْبَسُهَا.
English Translation
Aisha said: "We had a curtain with the image of a bird. When someone entered, it would face them. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to me: 'O Aisha, remove this, for every time I enter and see it, I am reminded of the worldly life.' We had a blanket whose markings we used to say were made of silk, and we used to wear it."
