أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أنبأ عَمْرٌو، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَتَانِ تُغَنِّيَانِ بِغِنَاءِ بُعَاثٍ، فَاضْطَجَعَ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ وَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ، وَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهَرَنِي وَقَالَ: مِزْمَارَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " دَعْهُمَا "، فَلَمَّا غَفَلَ غَمَزْتُهُمَا فَخَرَجَتَا، وَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ يَلْعَبُ السُّودَانُ بِالدَّرَقِ وَالْحِرَابِ، فَإِمَّا سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: " تَشْتَهِينَ تَنْظُرِينَ؟ "، فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَأَقَامَنِي وَرَاءَهُ، خَدِّي عَلَى خَدِّهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: " دُونَكُمْ يَا بَنِي أَرْفِدَةَ "، حَتَّى إِذَا مَلَلْتُ قَالَ: " حَسْبُكِ؟ "، قُلْتُ، نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " اذْهَبِي " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَيُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ.
Urwah narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I had two young girls singing with me, who were reciting poems about the battle of Bu'ath. He (peace and blessings be upon him) lay down and turned his face away. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, scolded me and said: This is the musical instrument of Satan, in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to him and said: "Leave them both." When he became inattentive, I quietly signalled them both out. She says: It was the day of Eid, and the Sudanese were playing with shields and spears. I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Would you like to watch?" I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) made me stand behind him, my cheek against his (peace and blessings be upon him) cheek, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "Carry on, O Banu Arfidah!" until I grew tired. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is that enough?" I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go."
