Sahih al-Bukhari 927 (Book 13, Hadith 2)
(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.
