Home Hadith Hadith 928
I heard the Prophet (p.b.u.h) delivering a Khutba saying, "The first thing to be done on this day (first
day of `Id ul Adha) is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the
name of Allah) and whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (traditions)."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 13, Hadith 3
← Previous Hadith
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) came to my house while two girls were singing beside me the songs of Buath
(a story about the war between the two tribes of the Ansar, the Khazraj and the Aus, before Islam).
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) lay down and turned his face to the other side. Then Abu Bakr came and spoke
to me harshly saying, "Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) turned his face towards him and said, "Leave them." When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I
signaled to those girls to go out and they left. It was the day of `Id, and the Black people were playing
with shields and spears; so either I requested the Prophet (p.b.u.h) or he asked me whether I would
like to see the display. I replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) made me stand behind
him and my cheek was touching his cheek and he was saying, "Carry on! O Bani Arfida," till I got
tired. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked me, "Are you satisfied (Is that sufficient for you)?" I replied in the
affirmative and he told me to leave.

Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the
Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, "Musical
instruments of Satan in the house of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) !" It happened on the `Id day and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id."
