سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ( عليهما السلام ) عَنِ التَّمَاثِيلِ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِذَا كَانَتْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَ عَنْ خَلْفِكَ أَوْ تَحْتِ رِجْلَيْكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَأَلْقِ عَلَيْهَا ثَوْباً .


Translation

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) about the resemblances (statues etc.) in the house. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem if there are on your right and on your left, and behind you, or beneath your feet; but if they were in (the direction) of the Qiblah, so cast a piece of cloth upon it’.
