LessonsFaith, Love for the Messenger, Mercy, and Negative lā (Hadith 131–138)Quiz

لَا تَدْخُلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ، وَلَا تَصَاوِيرُ
Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or images.

Source: البخاري ومسلم

الْمَلَائِكَةُ means “angels,” بَيْتًا “a house,” كَلْبٌ “a dog,” and تَصَاوِيرُ “images.” The pronoun in فِيهِ refers to the house: “in it.”

لَا تَدْخُلُ contains negative لَا. الْمَلَائِكَةُ is the subject, and بَيْتًا the object. The angels meant here are understood to be angels of mercy, not the angels assigned to record deeds or take souls. The short text alone does not resolve every detailed legal application.
