٦٦۔ كِتَابُ الشَّهَادَاتِ
هُوَ وَاللهِ الْغِنَاءُ
عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ وَعِكْرِمَةَ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ
[Machine] He is singing in the Hamiriya, call him to sing for us.
هُوَ الْغِنَاءُ بِالْحِمْيَرِيَّةِ اسْمَدِي لَنَا تَغَنَّيْ لَنَا
[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said: "Singing produces hypocrisy in the heart."
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْغِنَاءُ يُنْبِتُ النِّفَاقَ فِي الْقَلْبِ
[Machine] Singing breeds hypocrisy in the heart as water breeds crops, and remembrance breeds faith in the heart as water breeds crops.
الْغِنَاءُ يُنْبِتُ النِّفَاقَ فِي الْقَلْبِ كَمَا يُنْبِتُ الْمَاءُ الزَّرْعَ وَالذِّكْرُ يُنْبِتُ الْإِيمَانَ فِي الْقَلْبِ كَمَا يُنْبِتُ الْمَاءُ الزَّرْعَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Singing grows hypocrisy in the heart, just as water grows the greenness of vegetables."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْغِنَاءُ يُنْبِتُ النِّفَاقَ فِي الْقَلْبِ كَمَا يُنْبِتُ الْمَاءُ الْبَقْلَ
لَوْ تَرَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ أَحَدًا تَرَكَ هَذِهِ
[Machine] "They were brought low, so they suffered. It was said to Aisha, 'O Mother of the Believers, should we not entertain them?' She said, 'Yes.' She said, 'So send for so-and-so the singer.' He came to them and passed by Aisha in the house. She saw him singing and moving his head with pleasure, and he had a lot of hair. Aisha said, 'Woe to them, the devils, get him out, get him out.' So they expelled him."
ؓ خُفِضْنَ فَأَلِمْنَ ذَلِكَ فَقِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَا نَدْعُو لَهُنَّ مِنْ يُلَهِّيهِنَّ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَتْ فَأُرْسِلَ إِلَى فُلَانٍ الْمُغَنِّي فَأَتَاهُمْ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ عَائِشَةُ ؓ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَرَأَتْهُ يَتَغَنَّى وَيُحَرِّكُ رَأْسَهُ طَرَبًا وَكَانَ ذَا شَعْرٍ كَثِيرٍ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ أُفٍّ شَيْطَانٌ أَخْرِجُوهُ أَخْرِجُوهُ فَأَخْرَجُوهُ
[Machine] Look, O son of my brother, when God distinguishes between truth and falsehood, in which of them will singing be placed?
انْظُرْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِذَا مَيَّزَ اللهُ الْحَقَّ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ فِي أَيِّهِمَا يُجْعَلُ الْغِنَاءُ؟
