4923 — Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali narrated to us: ‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Ma‘mar informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Medina, the Abyssinians played in celebration of his arrival, rejoicing at that; they played with their spears.

It was also recorded by al-Bukhari (4001), al-Tirmidhi (1115), and al-Nasa’i in al-Kubra (5538) via various chains from Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal, from him.
It was also recorded by Ibn Majah (1897) via the chain of Hammad ibn Salamah, from Abu al-Husayn Khalid ibn Dhakwan, from him.
It is also found in Musnad Ahmad (27021) and Sahih Ibn Hibban (5878).

His saying: “A house was built for me” — al-bina’ (building) means consummating the marriage with one’s wife. Its origin is that when a man married a woman, a tent was pitched for him so that he could enter upon her therein. Hence it is said: “A house was built for the man over his family.”

Al-duff (tambourine) — with dammah or fathah on the dal — is what people play with. What is meant is the public announcement of marriage.

Al-nadb is when the wailing woman mentions the deceased’s best deeds and qualities. The noun is al-nadb — with dammah on the nun. His saying: “Leave this” means: abandon what pertains to my praise that contains the flattery which is prohibited. In the narration of Hammad ibn Salamah, as recorded by Ibn Majah, there is an addition: “No one knows what will be tomorrow except Allah,” thus indicating the reason for the prohibition.

Al-Hafiz said in al-Fath 9/203: He only disapproved of her for the flattery mentioned, because she attributed knowledge of the unseen to him absolutely, and that is a quality exclusive to Allah Almighty, as He said: “Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen except Allah” [al-Naml: 65], and His saying to His Prophet: “Had I known the unseen, I would have acquired much good” [al-A‘raf: 188]. As for the rest of what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reported of unseen matters, it was by Allah’s informing him of it, not that he independently possessed such knowledge, as Allah said: “Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His unseen to anyone, except a messenger He has approved” [al-Jinn: 26–27].

(1) Its chain is sound.
It is found in ‘Abd al-Razzaq’s Musannaf (19723), and from his chain it was recorded by Ahmad in his Musnad (12649), ‘Abd ibn Humayd (1239), Abu Ya‘la in his Musnad (3459), al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan 7/92, al-Baghawi in Sharh al-Sunnah (3768), and al-Diya’ in al-Mukhtarah (1780), (1781), and (1782). =
