They were not, however, singing girls. Upon this Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Apostle and this too on Eid day?’ Upon this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said, ‘ Abu Bakr, every people have a festival and it is our festival (so let them play on)’.”…”
