English Translation

Rawh narrated to us, Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah (رضي الله عنهما) saying: the Prophet ﷺ ordered 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) on the day of the conquest of Makkah, while he was at al-Batha', to go to the Ka'bah and obliterate every image in it. the Prophet ﷺ did not enter it until every image in it had been obliterated.
