Enjoyment During Festival Days

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was tolerant and allowed people to enjoy themselves during the days of Id (festival).

Narrated 'Aisha: That during the Mina days, Abu Bakr came to her, while there where two girls with her, beating drums, and the Prophet ﷺ was (lying) covering himself with his garment. Abu Bakr rebuked the two girls, but the Prophet ﷺ uncovered his face and said, "O Abu Bakr! Leave them, for these are the days of Id (festival)". Those days were the days of Mina-'.Aisha added, "I was being screened by the Prophet ﷺ while I was watching the Ethiopians playing in the Mosque'.Umar rebuked them, but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Leave them, O Bani Arfida! Play. (for) you are safe".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ مِنًى تُدَفِّفَانِ وَتَضْرِبَانِ، وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُتَغَشٍّ بِثَوْبِهِ، فَانْتَهَرَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَكَشَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ ‏"‏ دَعْهُمَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ، وَتِلْكَ الأَيَّامُ أَيَّامُ مِنًى ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي، وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ، وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَزَجَرَهُمْ ‏{‏عُمَرُ‏}‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ‏"‏ دَعْهُمْ أَمْنًا بَنِي أَرْفَدَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏ يَعْنِي مِنَ الأَمْنِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's tolerance and kindness towards others. It is narrated by Aisha, who was one of his wives. In this hadith, Abu Bakr and Umar were rebuking two girls who were beating drums in the Mosque during the days of Mina. However, instead of scolding them, the Prophet Muhammad allowed them to continue playing as it was a festival day. He also allowed some Ethiopians to play in the Mosque despite Umar's disapproval. This shows that he was tolerant and kind even when others disagreed with him. He taught us that we should be respectful towards each other even if we have different opinions or beliefs. We should also be generous enough to allow people to enjoy themselves on special occasions like festivals without any judgement or criticism from us.
