Sahih Muslim 892a (Book 8, Hadith 16) #9203
Celebrating Festivals with Music

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad allowing two girls to sing a song in celebration of an event, despite Abu Bakr's initial disapproval.

'A'isha reported: 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 and this too on 'Id day? Upon this the Messenger of Allah said: Abu Bakr, every people have a festival and it is our festival (so let them play on).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَتَانِ مِنْ جَوَارِي الأَنْصَارِ تُغَنِّيَانِ بِمَا تَقَاوَلَتْ بِهِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ بُعَاثٍ قَالَتْ وَلَيْسَتَا بِمُغَنِّيَتَيْنِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَبِمُزْمُورِ الشَّيْطَانِ فِي بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ عِيدًا وَهَذَا عِيدُنَا

Respect other people's right to celebrate in their own way.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of celebrating festivals and special occasions. It shows that even though Abu Bakr initially disapproved of the singing, Prophet Muhammad allowed it as it was a festival day and people should be able to celebrate in their own way. This teaches us that we should not judge others for how they choose to celebrate, as long as it is within the boundaries set by Allah. We can learn from this hadith that we should be tolerant and understanding when others are celebrating differently than us, and respect their right to do so.
