"What is this cushion?"

From a hadith quoted above - the cushion had pictures of animals on it and allegedly lo uncle mo was grumpy!

Has anyone collated the hadith sira etc into the political and religious and other perspectives they are giving?

Do Shia, Sunni, etc have their favourite collections?

Can not a history be worked out by which tales get voted up and down at various points? Can they not be tied to the various factions?

For example this cushion one is in the general iconoclast category, Sunni, probably with close links to the Byzantine Iconoclast movement.

I am arguing nothing should be rejected as inauthentic - they should all be put into various categories, not of "authenticity" but of politics, theology....

That would be an interesting timeline.

I know the Shia in Persia used to make images of the prophet back in the day.
