Anas ibn Mâlik (radiyallâhu `anhu) said that the Abyssinians (Habashîs) danced in front of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ; dancing (yarquSûn/raqS) while saying “Muhammad is a Righteous Servant (Muhammadun `Abdun Sâlih)” (in their dialect/language). Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ asked, “What are they saying?” And they responded, “Muhammadun ‘Abdun Sâlih!”.[Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Musnad (Beirut: Dâr Sâdir), 3:152, #12564]

Related to this, Imâm Ahmad ibn Hanbal also reports the following in his Musnad:”Aisha stated that Allâh’s Messenger (ﷺ) put her cheek on his shoulder while looking at the Abyssinians (Habashîs) dance.”

Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (ra) himself said about the Sûfîs: “I don’t know people better than them.” Someone said to him: “They listen to music and they reach states of ecstasy.” He said: “Do you prevent them from enjoying an hour with Allâh?” (Muhammad ibn Ahmad as-Saffarînî al-Hanbalî (died 1188) who related in his Ghidha’ al-albab li-sharh manzumat al-adab from Ibrahim ibn `Abd Allah al-Qalanasi) (Cairo: Matba`at al-Najah, 1324/1906)

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 15, Number 103:Narrated ‘Urwa on the authority of ‘Aisha: On the days of Mina, (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) Abu Bakr came to her while two young girls were beating the tambourine and the Prophet was lying covered with his clothes. Abu Bakr scolded them and the Prophet uncovered his face and said to Abu Bakr, “Leave them, for these days are the days of ‘Id and the days of

Mina.” ‘Aisha further said, “Once the Prophet (ﷺ) was screening me and I was watching the display of black slaves in the Mosque and (‘Umar) scolded them. The Prophet said, ‘Leave them. O Bani Arfida! (carry on), you are safe (protected)’.”

Sahih Muslim: Book 004, Number 1942:’A’isha reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came (in my apartment) while there were two girls with me singing the song of the Battle of Bu’ath. He lay down on the bed and turned away his face. Then came Abu Bakr and he scolded me and said: Oh! this musical instrument of the devil in the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards him and said: Leave them alone. And when he (the Holy Prophet) became unattentive, I hinted them and they went out, and it was the day of ‘Id and negroes were playing with shields and speare. (I do not remember) whether I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or whether he said to me if I desired to see (that sport). I said: Yes. I stood behind him with his face parallel to my face, and he said: O Banu Arfada, be busy (in your sports) till I was satiated. He said (to me): Is that enough? I said: Yes. Upon this he asked me to go. [Sahih Muslim: Book 004, Number 1942]

Book 004, Number 1938:’A’isha reported: Abu Bakr came to see me and I had two girls with me from among the girls of the Ansar and they were singing what the Ansar recited to one another at the Battle of Bu’ath. They were not, however, singing girls. Upon this Abu Bakr said: What I (the playing of) this wind instrument of Satan in the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and this too on ‘Id day? Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Abu Bakr, every people have a festival and it is our festival (so let them play on).

Book 004, Number 1946:Abu Huraira reported: While the Abyssinians were busy playing with their arms in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ‘Umar b. Khattab came there. He bent down to take up pebbles to throw at them (in order to make them go off). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: ‘Umar, leave them alone.

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 229:Narrated Anas:The Prophet was on a journey and a slave named Anjasha was chanting (singing) for the camels to let them go fast (while driving). The Prophet said, “O Anjasha, drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels!” Abu Qilaba said, “By the glass vessels’ he meant the women (riding the camels).”

And ‘A’isha (Allah (SUBHANU WA TAALA) be well pleased with her) said, “The Prophet (Allah (SUBHANU WA TAALA) bless him and give him peace) used to invoke Allah (SUBHANU WA TAALA) at all of his times” [Sahih Muslim, 1.282: 373].

“One lady came to the Prophet when he was returning from one of his battles and she said, “Ya RasulAllah, I have made an oath that if Allah sends you back safe, I would play this drum near you and sing for you.”The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Fulfill your oath.” [ Recorded by Abu Dawud (3:237 #2880), Tirmidhi (#3623), Imam Ahmad (5:353 #21911, 5:356 #21933), Ibn Hibban (#4386), Bayhaqi (Sunan, #20681), and Tabarani (M. Awsat, 4:191).]

Narrated ‘Urwa on the authority of ‘Aisha: On the days of Mina, (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) Abu Bakr came to her while two young girls were beating the tambourine and the Prophet was lying covered with his clothes. Abu Bakr scolded them and the Prophet (ﷺ) uncovered his face and said to Abu Bakr, “Leave them, for these days are the days of ‘Id and the days of Mina.”

 ‘Aisha further said, “Once the Prophet was screening me and I was watching the display of black slaves in the Mosque and (‘Umar) scolded them. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Leave them. O Bani Arfida! (carry on), you are safe (protected)’.”
