Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was nothing in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that I did not see. Listen: on the day of Eid, 'taqlis' used to be performed before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
Taqlis means play and entertainment (an expression of joy).
