Sayyiduna Abu Bakr bin Abi Musa says: I came to Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar, and at that moment a caravan of Umm Banin passed by, in which there were anklets with bells. Salim narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Angels do not remain with a caravan in which there are bells. And look, how many bells there are among these people.

It is narrated from Banana, the freed slave woman of Abdur Rahman bin Hayan Ansari, may Allah have mercy on him, that she was with Sayyida Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, when a girl was brought to her who was wearing anklets that made a sound. Sayyida said: Do not let her come to me; yes, if you cut off her anklets, then she may come, because I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Angels do not enter a house in which there is a bell, and angels do not accompany a caravan in which there are anklets.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered on the day of Badr that the bells be cut off from the necks of the camels.

It is narrated from Mujahid that the freed slave of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) related to her, and he said: I used to drive the mount of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Whenever she heard the sound of a bell or anklet in front of her, she would say: Stop. So I would remain stopped until the sound ceased. And if she heard the sound of a bell from behind her, she would say: Move quickly until this sound is no longer heard. Sayyida Aisha used to state that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Behind the sound (of bells and the like) is a devil.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Habiba (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The caravan of camels in which there is a bell, the angels do not accompany it. In another narration: The angels do not join those people among whom there is the sound of a bell.

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angels do not accompany a caravan with which there is a dog or a bell.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The bell is the flute of Satan.
