حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ، عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، قَالَ : " كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ طَبْلٍ فَأَدْخَلَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : هَكَذَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
´It was narrated that Mujahid said:` “I was with Ibn Umar, and he heard the sound of a drum, so he put his fingers in his ears and turned away. He did that three times, then he said: “This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah do.' ”

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The aforementioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed scholar and researcher. However, the action of Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma and his statement that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also used to do so, is narrated through Nafi’ with a sound (sahih) and good (hasan) chain in Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Abi Dawud, Ibn Hibban, Tabarani Saghir, and Bayhaqi. Other scholars have also declared these narrations to be sound and good. However, in these narrations, instead of the sound of the drum, the sound of the flute is mentioned.
For details, see:
(al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah, Musnad al-Imam Ahmad: 8/132, 133, 134; Sunan Abi Dawud, Book of Manners, Chapter: Dislike of Singing and Musical Instruments, Hadith: 4924, 4926; Tabarani: 1/131; Sahih Ibn Hibban, Hadith: 2013; Bayhaqi: 10/222)
Therefore, even from authentic ahadith, it is supported that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam disliked the sound of musical instruments.
➋
One should avoid sinful sounds as much as possible.
➌
Other than the duff (frame drum), it is not permissible to play or listen to any musical instrument.
➍
It is also clear from this that those who derive the permissibility of drums, musical instruments, and all kinds of music and entertainment from the allowance of the duff are completely mistaken.
All the aforementioned types, except for the duff, are absolutely impermissible, categorically forbidden, and satanic acts.

The statement of Imam Abu Dawud is not correct; this narration is hasan and, according to Allamah al-Albani rahimahullah, it is sahih. It is established from other ahadith that (lahw al-hadith) refers to musical instruments, which are absolutely not permitted.
And especially, to play the name of Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to the beat of the tabla is an extreme disrespect to them, and all frivolities of music are haram except for the duff.

[سنن ابي داؤد: 2/ 326 ح 4924 و إسناده حسن و المعجم الكبير للطبراني: 1/ 13 و تحريم النرود الشطرنج و الملاهي للآجري ح 65، مسند احمد 2/ 38ح 4965، السنن الكبري للبيهقي: 1/ 222]
