Sunan an-Nasai 1597 (Book 19, Hadith 42) #16208
Celebrating Eid with Music and Joy

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) allowing two girls to play and sing on the days of Eid.

It was narrated from 'Urwah that he narrated from Aishah that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq : Entered upon her and there were two girls with her beating the duff and singing, and the Messenger of Allah was covered with his garment. He uncovered his face and said: "Let them be there, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of 'Eid". Those were the days of Mina and the Messenger of Allah was in Al-Madinah on that day".
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ تَضْرِبَانِ بِالدُّفِّ وَتُغَنِّيَانِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ مُسَجًّى بِثَوْبِهِ - وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى مُتَسَجٍّ ثَوْبَهُ - فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ دَعْهُمَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَهُنَّ أَيَّامُ مِنًى وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that it is permissible to celebrate the days of Eid with music and joy. It was narrated by Urwah who heard it from Aishah that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq entered her house while two girls were playing drums and singing. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was covered in his garment but when he saw what was happening he uncovered his face and said “Let them be there, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of 'Eid”. This shows us that celebrating with music is allowed during special occasions such as Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr. We can learn from this hadith that we should enjoy our celebrations in a way which does not go against Islamic teachings or values. We should also remember to thank Allah for all His blessings on us during these special occasions.
