The Book of the Prayer for the Two 'Eids

كتاب صلاة العيدين

Chapter 35: Playing in the masjid on the day of 'Eid and women watching that

It was narrated that 'Aishah said

"I remember the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) covering me with his Rida' while I was watching the Ethiopians playing in the masjid, until I got bored. So you should understand the keenness of young girls to play."

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said

"Umar came in when the Ethiopians were playing in the masjid. Umar, may Allah (SWT) be pleased with him, rebuked them, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Let them be there, O Umar, for they are Banu Arfidah.'"

Chapter 36: Concession allowing listening to singing and beating the duff on the day of 'Eid

It was narrated from 'Urwah that he narrated from Aishah that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq

Entered upon her and there were two girls with her beating the duff and singing, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was covered with his garment. He uncovered his face and said: "Let them be there, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of 'Eid." Those were the days of Mina and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in Al-Madinah on that day."
