Hadith 512
512 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعِنْدَي جَارِيَتَانِ مِنْ جَوَارِي الأَنْصَارِ، تُغَنِّيَانِ بِمَا تَقَاوَلَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ بُعَاثَ قَالَتْ: وَلَيْسَتَا بِمُغَنِّيَتَيْن فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَمَزَاميرُ الشَّيْطَانِ فِي بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذلِكَ فِي يَوْمِ عيدٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ عيدًا وَهذَا عيدُنَا
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her while two girls from the Ansar were with her, singing the verses that the Ansar had recited on the day of the Battle of Bu'ath. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: They were not professional singers. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Musical instruments of Satan in the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" And it was the day of Eid. Finally, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Abu Bakr! Every nation has its festival, and today is our Eid."
Hadith 513
513 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَتَانِ تُغَنِّيَانِ بِغِنَاءِ بُعَاثَ، فَاضْطَجَعَ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ وَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ، وَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَانْتَهَرَني، وَقَالَ: مِزْمَارَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: دَعْهُمَا فَلَمَّا غَفَلَ غَمَزْتُهُمَا فَخَرَجَتَاوَكَانَ يَوْمَ عيدٍ يَلْعَبُ فِيهِ السُّودَانُ بِالدَّرَقِ وَالْحِرَابِ، فَإِمَّا سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: تَشْتَهِينَ تَنْظُرِينَ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ فَأَقَامَنِي وَرَاءَهُ، خَدِّي عَلَى خَدِّهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: دُونَكُمْ يَا بَنِي أَرْفِدَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا مَلِلْتُ قَالَ: حَسْبُكِ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَاذْهَبِي
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that one day the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to my house while two girls from the Ansar were singing poems about the events of the Battle of Bu'ath. The Prophet (peace be upon him) lay down on the bed and turned his face to the other side. Then, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came and scolded me, saying, "Is this the music of Satan in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" Eventually, the Prophet (peace be upon him) turned towards him and said, "Let them be, remain silent." Then, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr became occupied with another task, I signaled to the girls and they left. And it was the day of Eid. Some Abyssinians were playing with shields and spears. Now, either I said or the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Do you want to watch the game?" I said, "Yes." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) made me stand behind him; my cheek was against his cheek, and he was saying, "Play, play, O Banu Arfida" (this was the title for the Abyssinians). Then, when I got tired, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Is that enough?" I said, "Yes." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Then go."
