Aisha reported that Gabriel (علیہ السلام) (peace be upon him) made a promise with Allahs Messenger ﷺ to come at a definite hour; that hour came but he did not visit him. And there was in his hand (in the hand of Allahs Apostle) ﷺ a staff. He threw it from his hand and said: Never has Allah or His messengers (angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by chance) found a puppy under his cot and said: Aisha, when did this dog enter here? She said: BY Allah, I dont know He then commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel (علیہ السلام) came and Allahs Messenger ﷺ said to him: You promised me and I waited for you. but you did not come, whereupon he said: It was the dog in your house which prevented me (to come), for we (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture.
