suyuti:26018a

[Machine] It is not lawful to sell singing girls, nor to buy them, nor to trade in them, and their price is forbidden. This verse was revealed concerning that: “And among the people is he who purchases idle talk.” By Him who sent me with the truth: no man raises his voice in singing except that God—Exalted is He—dispatches at that moment two devils who perch on his shoulders; then they do not cease striking his chest with their feet until he is the one who falls silent.

السيوطي:٢٦٠١٨a

"لَا يَحِلُّ بَيْعُ المُغَنِّياتِ، ولا شِراؤُهنَّ، ولا تِجَارَةٌ فيهِنَّ، وثَمَنُهُنَّ حَرَامٌ، إِنَّمَا أُنزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ في ذَلِكَ {وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ} وَالَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَفعَ رَجُلٌ عَقِيرَتَه بالْغِنَاءِ إلا بَعَثَ الله -تَعالى- عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيطَانَينِ يَرْتَعَانِ عَلَى عَاتِقَيهِ، ثُمَّ لَا يَزَالانِ يَضْربَانِ بِأَرْجُلِهِمَا عَلَى صَدْرِهِ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي سَكَتَ".

ابن أبي الدنيا في ذم الملاهى، [طب] الطبرانى في الكبير وابن مردويه عن أبي أمامة، وروى [حم] أحمد [ق] البيهقى في السنن صدره إلى قوله: (حرام)
