[Machine] I entered upon Qaradah ibn Ka'b and Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari in a wedding, and I heard female singers. So I said, "You are companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people of Badr, and you allow this to happen among you?" They said, "If you wish, stay with us, and if you wish, go, for it has been permitted for us to engage in conversation at weddings and to cry at times of calamity." Sharik said, "I saw him (i.e., the Prophet) saying this without any prohibition."

"I entered upon Qurazah bin Ka'b and Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari during a wedding and there were some young girls singing. I said: 'You are two of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah who were present at Badr, and this is being done in your presence!' They said: 'Sit down if you want and listen with us, or if you want you can go away. We were granted a concession allowing entertainment at weddings.'"

[Machine] "I entered upon Qaradah ibn Ka'b, Abu Mas'ud, and Zaid ibn Thabit, and found slave girls with them singing. So I said to them, 'Are you doing this while being companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' They replied, 'If you can hear, then listen; otherwise, leave. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed us to engage in playful activities, participate in weddings, and cry at funerals.'"
