Scholars differ in interpreting Aisha's hadith about the curtain with the image of a bird, and whether that was before or after the prohibition of images. Some believe it was before the prohibition, while others see no contradiction between the reports, and that the hadith indicates the permissibility of images that do not cast a shadow or those that are treated with disdain, such as being a pattern on a garment, a carpet, or a pillow, because transforming them is not considered a denial of them. Such images do not prevent the entry of angels.
