The Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba and found in it the pictures of (Prophet) Abraham and Mary. On that
he said' "What is the matter with them ( i.e. Quraish)? They have already heard that angels do not
enter a house in which there are pictures; yet this is the picture of Abraham. And why is he depicted as
practicing divination by arrows?"

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Abraham will meet his father Azar whose face will be
dark and covered with dust.(The Prophet (ﷺ) Abraham will say to him): 'Didn't I tell you not to disobey
me?' His father will reply: 'Today I will not disobey you.' 'Abraham will say: 'O Lord! You promised
me not to disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection; and what will be more disgraceful to me than
cursing and dishonoring my father?' Then Allah will say (to him):' 'I have forbidden Paradise for the
disbelievers." Then he will be addressed, 'O Abraham! Look! What is underneath your feet?' He will
look and there he will see a Dhabh (an animal,) blood-stained, which will be caught by the legs and
thrown in the (Hell) Fire."
