حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ شَهِدَ أَبَا وَائِلٍ فِي وَلِيمَةٍ فَجَعَلُوا يَلْعَبُونَ يَتَلَعَّبُونَ يُغَنُّونَ ، فَحَلَّ أَبُو وَائِلٍ حَبْوَتَهُ ، وَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " الْغِنَاءُ يُنْبِتُ النِّفَاقَ فِي الْقَلْبِ " .

He united the support of his hand round his knees that were drawn up, and said: I heard Abdullah (ibn Masud) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Singing produces hypocrisy in the heart.
