17) Voice Of The Shaytaan
Singing And The Ahadeeth
Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thaanvi (rahmatullahi alayh) states in his dissertation on sama’:
“From the narrations (of Hadith), prohibition appears to be clear. Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah narrating from Abu Umaamah (radiallahu 'anhu) said that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) prohibited buying and selling slave girls who were singers and said that their price is haraam, and their singing is haraam.
Baihaqi narrated that Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) said that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Do not buy and sell slave girls who are singers. Do not teach them (singing). There is no goodness in their trade. Their price is haraam.”
Ibn Abi Dunya, Tabarani and Ibn Marduwayh narrate from Abu Umaamah (radhiyallahu anhu) that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “I take oath by That Being Who has sent me with the True Deen: When a man raises his voice with singing, Allah Ta’ala appoints two shaitaans over him. They mount onto his shoulders and strike their feet against his breast until he maintains silence.”
Ibn Abi Dunya in Zamm-e-Malaahi, and Baihaqi in his Sunan, narrate that Ibn Mas’ud (radhiyallahu anhu) said that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Singing germinates hypocrisy in the heart just as water causes vegetables to grow.”
These narrations pertain to singing without musical instruments. Most dalaail establish the hurmat (prohibition) of musical instruments. Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “There will appear in my Ummah such people who will legalize silk, liquor and musical instruments.”
Tirmidhi narrated from Yahya Bin Saeed (radiallaahu 'anhu) that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “When my Ummah perpetrated 15 acts, calamities will settle on them.” Among these are musical instruments and singing girls.
Bazzaaz, Muqaddasi, Ibn Marduwayh, Abu Nu'aim, and Baihaqi (rahmatullah alayhim) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Two sounds are mal-oon (accursed) in both this world and the Aakhirah: the sound (voice) at the time of singing, and the sound of wailing (screaming) at the time of calamity.”
It is recorded in Tahmatut Muhdaat that Qais Bin Sa’d Bin Ubaadah (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Undoubtedly, my Rabb has made haraam liquor, gambling and musical instruments.”
Ibn Abbaas (radhiyallahu anhu) said: “The duff is haraam and musical instruments are haraam.” (Baihaqi)
In Mishkaat is recorded the narration of Baihaqi who reports that Jaabir (radhiyallahu anhu) said that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Singing germinates hypocrisy (nifaaq) in the heart in the same way as water causes plants to grow.”
Besides these Ahaadith, there are many more narrations which explicitly forbid music and singing.
