"لا تَبِيعُوا الْقَيْنَات وَلَا تَشْتَرُوهُنَّ، وَلا تُعَلِّمُوهُنَّ، ولَا خَيرَ فِي تجارَةٍ فِيهنَّ، وَثَمَنُهُنَّ حَرامٌ، في مِثْلِ هَذَا أُنزِلَتْ هَذه الآيَةُ {وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ. إلخ} ".

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not sell the female singers, nor purchase them, nor teach them (to sing). And there is no good in trade in them, and their prices are unlawful.

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not sell the (slave) female singers, not purchase them, nor teach them (to sing). And there is no good in trading in them, and their prices are unlawful. It was about the likes of this that this Ayah was revealed: And among mankind is he who purchases idle talk to divert from the way of Allah." [He said:] There is narration about this from 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] We only know of the Hadith of Abu Umamah, like this, from this route. Some of the people of knowledge have criticized 'Ali bin Yazid (one of the narrators) and graded him weak, and he is from Ash-Sham.
