 hisham bin zaid narrated on the authority of hassan on the authority of muhammad bin sirin who said a man came to madinah with female slaves and he stayed with ibn omar and among them was a female slave who was being beaten. a man came and bargained with him but he did not like any of them. he said go to a man who is a better seller for you than this one. so he went to abdullah bin jaafar and offered them to him. he ordered a female slave to take them so she took them until ibn omar thought that he had seen that. ibn omar said enough of the devils melody for the rest of the day. so he made a sale to him. then the man came to ibn omar and said o abu abd alrahman i have been enriched by nine hundred dirhams. ibn omar came with the man to the buyer and said to him that he had been cheated of nine hundred dirhams so either give her to him or return his sale to him. he said rather we will give her to him. this is abdullah bin jaafar and abdullah bin omar may god be pleased with them who heard singing with the oud and even though ibn omar disliked what was not serious he did not forbid it. he traveled to sell a female singer as you can see and if it were forbidden he would not have permitted it at all.
٦ وروى هشام بن زيد ثنا حسان عن محمد بن سيرين قال عن رجلا قدم المدينة بجوار، فنزل على ابن عمر وفيهم جارية تضرب، فجاء رجل فساومه فلم يهو منهن شيئا، قال انطلق إلى رجل هو أمثل لك بيعا من هذا. فأتى إلى عبد الله بن جعفر فعرضهن عليه، فأمر جارية فقال خذي فأخذت حتى ظن ابن عمر أنه قد نظر إلى ذلك، فقال ابن عمر حسبك سائر اليوم من مزمور الشيطان، فبايعه ثم جاء الرجل إلى ابن عمر فقال يا أبا عبد الرحمن إني غنيت بتسعمائة درهم، فأتى ابن عمر مع الرجل إلى المشتري فقال له إنه غبن في تسعمائة درهم، فإما أن تعطيها إياه وإما أن ترد عليه بيعه. فقال بل نعطيها إياه. فهذا عبد الله بن جعفر وعبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما قد سمعا الغناء بالعود، وإن كان ابن عمر كره ما ليس من الجد فلم ينه عنه، وقد سفر في بيع مغنية كما ترى، ولو كان حراما ما استجاز ذلك أصلا.
