Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Buraydah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from one of his military expeditions, and a black slave girl came to him and said: "O Prophet of Allah! I vowed that if Allah brought you (peace and blessings be upon him) back safe and sound, I would play the daff before you (peace and blessings be upon him)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you have vowed, then fulfil it." The narrator said: She began to play the daff. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, and she kept playing. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, and she put the daff down and sat on it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar! Satan fears you."

Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him), that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I have vowed to play the daff before you (peace and blessings be upon him)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fulfil your vow."
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It seems that he (peace and blessings be upon him) only permitted her to play it because it is a permissible matter, and in it there is a display of joy at the victory of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his safe return, not because it becomes obligatory through the vow. And Allah knows best.
