Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ بُنَانَةَ مَوْلَاةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ الْأنْصَارِيّ كانتْ عندَ عائشةَ إِذْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهَا بِجَارِيَةٍ وَعَلَيْهَا جَلَاجِلُ يُصَوِّتْنَ فَقَالَتْ: لَا تُدْخِلُنَّهَا عَلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنْ تُقَطِّعُنَّ جَلَاجِلَهَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تَدْخُلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ أَجْرَاس» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Bunana, the client of Abd al-Rahman ibn Hayyan al-Ansari, reported: I was with Aisha when a girl wearing tinkling bells was brought to her. Aisha said, “Do not bring her in to me unless you cut off those bells. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say that the angels do not enter a house containing bells.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
