سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْغِنَاءِ وَ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) رَخَّصَ فِي أَنْ يُقَالَ جِئْنَاكُمْ جِئْنَاكُمْ حَيُّونَا حَيُّونَا نُحَيِّكُمْ فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ وَ ما خَلَقْنَا السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما لاعِبِينَ لَوْ أَرَدْنا أَنْ نَتَّخِذَ لَهْواً لَاتَّخَذْناهُ مِنْ لَدُنَّا إِنْ كُنَّا فاعِلِينَ. بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْباطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذا هُوَ زاهِقٌ وَ لَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَيْلٌ لِفُلَانٍ مِمَّا يَصِفُ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَحْضُرِ الْمَجْلِسَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Abdul A’ala who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the singing (music) and I said, ‘They (people) are claiming that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> allowed the saying (singing) of, ‘We have come to you, we have come to you! Greet us, greet us, we will greet you’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said:’ They are lying! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:21#h16"><a href="/books/quran:21#h16">[21:16]</a></a> And We did not Create the sky and the earth and what is between the two for sport <a href="/#/books/quran:21#h17"><a href="/books/quran:21#h17">[21:17]</a></a> Had We Wanted to Take to a pass-time, We would have Taken it from before Ourselves had We wanted to Do (it) <a href="/#/books/quran:21#h18"><a href="/books/quran:21#h18">[21:18]</a></a> But, We Cast the Truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and behold! It vanishes; and woe unto you for what you are describing</span>’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Woe be unto so and so from what he described a man who was not present in the gathering’.
