Hadith 393
۞
35-3 Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sowli quoted on the authority of Oun ibn Muhammad al-Kindi, on the authority of Abul Husayn Muhammad ibn Abi Ibad - who was known for drinking wine and listening to music - that he asked
Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) about listening to music. He (a.s.) replied, “Those of Hijaz consider it to be legitimate. However, it is considered to be among the wrong and useless things. Have you not heard the Sublime God’s words, ‘Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honorable (avoidance).’”
3 - حَدَّثَنا الْحاكِم أَبُو عَلِي الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أحْمَدالْبِيْهَقِيُّ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الصُّوْليُحَدَّثَنا عَوْنُ بْنِ مُحَمَّد الْكِنْدِيُّ قالَ حَدَّثَني أَبُو الحُسَيْن مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبي عباد وَكَانَ مُشْتَهَراً بِالسَّمَاعِ وَبِشُرْبِ النَّبِيذِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ عَنِ السَّمَاعِ فَقَالَ لاهْلِ الْحِجَازِ رَأْيٌ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِي حَيِّزِ الْبَاطِلِ وَاللَّهْوِ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: وَإِذا مَرُّوا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا كِراماً
