Amir al-Sha'bi narrates from Iyad al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he attended an Eid in al-Anbar and said: Why do I not see you playing (taqlis)? They used to do it in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yusuf bin Adi says that "al-taqlis" means that girls and boys sit at the roadsides playing drums (and the like).
The Shaykh says: Hushaym narrated it from al-Mughirah, except that he said: "For it is of the Sunnah on the two Eids," meaning beating the duff when returning (from the Eid prayer).
