حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ أَبُو قُدَامَةَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ : " أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ بِالدُّفِّ ، قَالَ : أَوْفِي بِنَذْرِكِ ، قَالَتْ : إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا مَكَانٌ كَانَ يَذْبَحُ فِيهِ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، قَالَ : لِصَنَمٍ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : لَا ، قَالَ : لِوَثَنٍ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : لَا ، قَالَ : أَوْفِي بِنَذْرِكِ " .
Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, I have taken a vow to play the tambourine over you. He said: Fulfil your vow. She said: And I have taken a vow to perform a sacrifice in such a such a place, a place in which people had performed sacrifices in pre-Islamic times. He asked: For an Idol? She replied: No. He asked: For an image? She replied: No. He said: Fulfil your vow.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Among musical instruments, only the duff is such an item that Islam has permitted to be played on occasions of happiness.
And the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) from jihad with goodness and safety was a happiness greater than all other joys.
However, to associate the modern-day innovative custom of celebrating the Prophet’s birthday (mawlid) with this event during the blessed life of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would be a grave crime.
➋
If, in any good deed, there is some resemblance or conformity with the polytheists (mushrikeen) or innovators (mubtadi’een),
in which there is no endorsement of their acts of disbelief, polytheism, or innovation,
then there is no harm in performing that good deed.
As is also coming in the following hadith.
➌
There is a difference between "wathan" and "sanam": "Sanam" refers to an idol that is a statue,
that is, it resembles a human form, and "wathan" is also used for an idol,
as well as for polytheistic places like shrines, sanctuaries, and graves, etc.
