21. Marriage
٢١۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
"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.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3383)
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى قَرَظَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فِي عُرْسٍ وَإِذَا جَوَارٍ يَتغَنَّيْنَ قُلْتُ أَنْتُمَ أَصَحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلُ بَدْرٍ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا عِنْدَكُمْ قَالَا اجْلِسْ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَاسْمَعْ مَعَنَا وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَاذْهَبْ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ «رُخِّصَ لَنَا فِي اللهْوِ عِنْدَ الْعُرْسِ»
[Machine] "O messengers of Allah, did you give the girl as a gift, so that we sent along with her someone who would say: 'We have come to you, we have come to you', and would greet us and greet you?"
رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْدَيْتُمُ الْفَتَاةَ أَلَا بَعَثْتُمْ مَعَهَا مَنْ يَقُولُ أَتَيْنَاكُمْ أَتَيْنَاكُمْ فَحَيَّانَا وَحَيَّاكُمْ؟
