Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> ef the $iifts<br />

And 'Amir <strong>Ibn</strong> Sa'd Al-BajalI said: Once I was searching for Thabit<br />

<strong>Ibn</strong> Sa'd (rat/iyAllahu 'anhu), one of those who fought in Badr. I found<br />

him at a wedding with two young girls singing and playing the tambours<br />

(al-duffe.!J . I said: Why don't you forbid them from doing this?<br />

He said: No, Allah's Messenger (;i) permitted us to do this.207<br />

All proofs they have cited must not be used to support the singing<br />

that brings excitement to listeners.<br />

Some lovers of ufism cited other proofs. Abu Nu'aym al-AsfahanI<br />

said: Al-Bara' <strong>Ibn</strong> Malik (ra#yA//ahu 'anhu) was inclined towards<br />

music, and used to enjoy humming.208<br />

<strong>The</strong> reason why Abu Nu'aym said this was because it was reported<br />

that once he lay down and began humming.<br />

Look at the silly use of this proof.<br />

Every person hums.<br />

How is humming compared to listening to gleeful music?!<br />

And Mul:iammad <strong>Ibn</strong> Tahir used other proofs. Had I not been<br />

worried that some ignorant people may come across these proofs, I<br />

would not have mentioned them. <strong>The</strong>y are worth nothing:<br />

In his book, he titled a chapter: It is from the Sunnah to Sing.<br />

He claimed that singing was from the Sunnah based on the l:iadith<br />

that Allah's Messenger asked <strong>Ibn</strong> al-Sharid (ratf,ryAlkihu 'anhu) to recite<br />

one of Umayyah's poems. As the Prophet was listening to the<br />

201 ' fabarani in his al-Kabir, 17 /247, Bayhaqi, 7 /'JB9 and I:Iakim (2/1 84) with a<br />

saQ.iQ. chain.<br />

Abii Nu'aym in al-lji!Jah, 1/350.<br />
