muslim:892a – Abū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Abū Usāmah > Hishām from his father > ʿĀʾishah

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).

Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, "Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Messenger of Allah ﷺ !" It happened on the ʿId day and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Bakr! There is an ʿId for every nation and this is our ʿId."

“Abu Bakr entered upon me, and there were two girls from the Ansar with me, singing about the Day of Bu'ath.” She said: “And they were not really singers. Abu Bakr said: 'The wind instruments of Satan in the house of the Prophet ?' That was on the day of 'Eid(Al-Fitr). But the Prophet said: 'O Abu Bakr, every people has its festival and this is our festival.' ”

[Machine] Abu Bakr entered upon me on the day of Eid, and I had two singing slave girls who were reminiscing about the day of the Battle of Bu'ath, the day when the leaders of Aws and Khazraj were killed. Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is this the Zemzam of Satan that is with you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "O Abu Bakr, indeed every nation has its own feast day, and this day is our feast day."

[Machine] Abu Bakr entered and I had two slave girls from the Ansar singing what the Ansar used to say on the day of Bua'ath or Bughaath. Al-Harithi doubted and said, "But they are not singers." So Abu Bakr said, "Are the horns of Satan in the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? And this is the day of Eid." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Bakr, indeed every nation has a festival, and this is our festival."
