It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about an orphan girl who was in her care: "What became of so-and-so?" I said: "We have sent her off to her husband." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you send with her a girl who would beat the daff and sing?" She said: "What would she say?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She would say:
'We have come to you, we have come to you, so greet us and we greet you. Were it not for the red gold, it would not have settled in your valley, and were it not for the brown grain (wheat), your maidens would not have grown so plump.'
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Hisham bin Urwah except Sharik, and no one from Sharik except Rawwad; Muhammad bin Abi al-Sari is alone in narrating it."
