أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى قَرَظَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ فِي عُرْسٍ وَإِذَا جَوَارٍ يُغَنِّينَ فَقُلْتُ أَنْتُمَا صَاحِبَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ يُفْعَلُ هَذَا عِنْدَكُمْ . فَقَالاَ اجْلِسْ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَاسْمَعْ مَعَنَا وَإِنْ شِئْتَ اذْهَبْ قَدْ رُخِّصَ لَنَا فِي اللَّهْوِ عِنْدَ الْعُرْسِ .
Ali ibn Hujr reported to us; he said: Sharik narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Amir ibn Sa'd, who said: I entered upon Qardhah ibn Ka'b and Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari at a wedding, where young women were singing. I said, ‘You are both Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and among the people of Badr, and this is happening in your presence?’ They said, ‘Sit and listen with us if you wish, or leave. We have been granted a concession for amusement at a wedding.’
Translation notes
The report specifically identifies the occasion as a wedding and the singers as young women; the two men say amusement at weddings has been permitted to them.
