Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 17201 — Entertainment and beating the duff

Amr bin Rabi'ah says: I was with Sayyiduna Thabit bin Wadi'ah and Sayyiduna Qarazah bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with them both) at a wedding. I heard the sound of singing, so I said: "Do you two not hear this?" They said: "We have been granted permission for singing at a wedding, and for weeping over the dead without wailing."
