Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَتَيْتُكَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَمَا مَنَعَنِي مِنْ الدُّخُولِ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا كَلْبٌ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَتِمْثَالُ صُورَةٍ فِي سِتْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى الْبَابِ قَالَ فَنَظَرُوا فَإِذَا جَرْوٌ لِلْحَسَنِ أَوْ الْحُسَيْنِ كَانَ تَحْتَ نَضَدٍ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِالْكَلْبِ فَأُخْرِجَ وَأَنْ يُقْطَعَ رَأْسُ الصُّورَةِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَيُجْعَلَ السِّتْرُ مُنْتَبَذَتَيْنِ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, from Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq, from Mujahid, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: Gabriel came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I came to you last night, and nothing prevented me from entering upon you except a dog that was in the house, and a picture on a curtain that was over the door." He said: "So they looked, and there was a puppy belonging to al-Hasan or al-Husayn under a shelf of theirs." He said: "So he ordered the dog to be taken out, and that the head of the picture be cut off so that it would look like a tree, and that the curtain be made into two cushions."
