Sunan Ibn Majah 3359 (Book 29, Hadith 109) #32713
Refusing Food in a House with Images

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) refused to eat food in a house with images.

It was narrated that 'Ali said: "I made some food and called the Messenger of Allah (to come and eat). He came and saw some images in the house, so he went back".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ صَنَعْتُ طَعَامًا فَدَعَوْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَجَاءَ فَرَأَى فِي الْبَيْتِ تَصَاوِيرَ فَرَجَعَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect others' decisions within Islamic boundaries

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's refusal to eat food in a house that contained images. It was narrated by 'Ali ibn Abi Talib that he made some food and invited the Messenger of Allah to come and eat it. When the Prophet arrived at his house he saw some images inside and decided not to stay for dinner. This hadith teaches us that we should not have any kind of image or idol inside our homes as it goes against Islamic teachings. We should also respect the decisions of others even if we don't agree with them as long as they are within Islamic boundaries.
