(الْغِنَاءُ يُنْبِتُ النِّفَاقَ فِي الْقَلْبِ)
(Singing fosters hypocrisy in the heart)
Hadith 4810
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْغِنَاءُ يُنْبِتُ النِّفَاقَ فِي الْقَلْبِ كَمَا يُنْبِتُ الْمَاءُ الزَّرْعَ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان»
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Singing creates hypocrisy in the heart just as water makes crops grow." Its chain of narration is weak; it was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-Iman.
