[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."

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 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).

[Machine] She said, "Abu Bakr came to us on the day of Eid and we had two singing girls who were mentioning the day of Bu'ath, the day when the tribes of Aws and Khazraj fought and many were killed. Abu Bakr said, 'Are the servants of Allah the singers of Satan?' He repeated this three times. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'O Abu Bakr, every nation has a festival, and today is our festival.'"
