Sunan an-Nasa'i
The Book of the Prayer for the Two 'Eids
كتاب صلاة العيدين
Chapter 35
اللَّعِبِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ وَنَظَرِ النِّسَاءِ إِلَى ذَلِكَ
Ishaq ibn Musa narrated to us; he said: al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us; he said: al-Awza‘i narrated to us; he said: al-Zuhri narrated to me, from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurairah, who said: ‘Umar entered while the Ethiopians were playing in the mosque. ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) rebuked them, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Let them be, ‘Umar, for they are Banu Arfidah.”
Translation notes
Banu Arfidah is retained as the designation used in the source for the Ethiopians in this report.
Chapter 36
الرُّخْصَةِ فِي الاِسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى الْغِنَاءِ وَضَرْبِ الدُّفِّ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ
Ahmad ibn Hafs ibn ‘Abdullah narrated to us; he said: My father narrated to me; he said: Ibrahim ibn Tahman narrated to me, from Malik ibn Anas, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah, who related that ‘A’ishah told him that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq entered while two young girls with her were beating a tambourine and singing. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was wrapped in his garment—another wording says that he was wrapped in his garment. He uncovered his face and said: “Leave them, Abu Bakr; these are days of Eid.” They were the days of Mina, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Madinah that day.
Translation notes
The source preserves a second wording for the description of the Prophet’s garment; both wordings have been rendered with the same apparent sense. The report itself identifies the days as the days of Mina and also says the Prophet was in Madinah; both details are retained.
