Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَلْجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ حَاطِبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ فَصْلَ مَا بَيْنَ الْحَلاَلِ وَالْحَرَامِ الصَّوْتُ " .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Abd al-A'la reported to us; he said: Khalid narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from Abu Balj, who said: I heard Muhammad ibn Hatib say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘The distinction between the lawful and the unlawful is sound.’
Translation notes
This parallel wording mentions sound at a marriage but does not specify the frame drum named in the preceding version.
