adab:1247

Umm 'Alqama related that when the daughters of 'A'isha's brother were circumcised, 'A'isha was asked, "Shall we call someone to amuse them?" "Yes," she replied. 'Adi was sent for and he came to them. 'A'isha passed by the room and saw him singing and shaking his head in rapture - and he had a large head of hair. 'Uff!' she exclaimed, 'A shaytan! Get him out! Get him out!'"

الأدب المفرد:١٢٤٧حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو أَنَّ بُكَيْرًا حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ عَلْقَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّ بَنَاتَ أَخِي عَائِشَةَ اخْتُتِنَّ فَقِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ أَلاَ نَدْعُو لَهُنَّ مَنْ يُلْهِيهِنَّ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى عَدِيٍّ فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَمَرَّتْ عَائِشَةُ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَرَأَتْهُ يَتَغَنَّى وَيُحَرِّكُ رَأْسَهُ طَرَبًا وَكَانَ ذَا شَعْرٍ كَثِيرٍ فَقَالَتْ أُفٍّ شَيْطَانٌ أَخْرِجُوهُ أَخْرِجُوهُ
