Is the Hadith that mentions the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, entering the Kaaba and seeing pictures hanging on its walls, then commanding the removal of all pictures except for the image of Jesus, peace be upon him, saying: "Leave this one," authentic or weak, and what is its text?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded the effacement of all images from the Kaaba upon his entry into Mecca, including images of Mary, Abraham, and Ishmael. Al-Bukhari narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said regarding the images of Abraham and Ishmael: "May Allah fight them! They knew that they never sought divination by them." It was also reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw an image of Mary and said: "Erase whatever images are in it. May Allah fight a people who depict what they do not create."
