Bayhaqi 21038 — There is no harm in listening to camel-driving songs

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو يَعْلَى، ثنا قَطَنُ بْنُ نُسَيْرٍ، أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا ثَابِتٌ، قَالَ قَطَنٌ: أَحْسِبُهُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ فَقَامَ أَهْلُهَا سِمَاطَيْنِ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ: وَابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ:.
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah, and its people stood in two rows looking at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), while Ibn Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) was walking in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and saying:
O disbelievers! Clear his way today.
Today we will strike the neck of whoever comes out against him,
(a blow) that severs skulls from bodies and parts friend from friend.
O my Lord! I am a believer in his word.
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Ibn Rawahah! Are you reciting poetry in the Sanctuary and in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar, stop. By Allah, in Whose Hand is my soul, these words strike them harder than arrows."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a rider from Banu Tamim caught up with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with them was a camel-driver singing huda.
