Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to come to me while I was playing with dolls.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I used to play with dolls and my friends would come and play with me. When they saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), they would get up and leave. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would send them back to me, so they would play with me.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once some Abyssinians were displaying their war weapons with skill. During this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and threw pebbles at them. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: O Umar, let them do it.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Once, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her place, and at that time, two girls were sitting with her who were singing. This was on the occasion of Eid. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had covered his face with a cloth. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) scolded those girls, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) removed the cloth from his face and said: O Abu Bakr! Let them sing, for these are the days of Eid.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I remember this about the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that he had covered me with his cloak as a screen, and I was watching the Abyssinians who were performing tricks. At that time, I was a young girl, so you can imagine how much interest a young girl, who is not very old, would have in watching such tricks.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her during the days of Tashreeq. Two girls were sitting with her, singing and playing the daff. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) scolded them and tore their daff. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Let them do it, for these are the days of Eid.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Abyssinians used to perform acrobatics in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him); they would say things that were not understood. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, "What are they saying?" So the people informed him: "They are saying: Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is a righteous servant."

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: On the days of Eid, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her, and there were two girls sitting with her, singing and playing the drum. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying down with a cloth over his face. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) scolded the two girls, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) removed the cloth from his face and said: "O Abu Bakr! Let them be, for these are the days of Eid." (Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, narrates:) These were the specific days of Mina (i.e., the occasion of the greater Eid).

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I remember this about the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), that he had screened me with his cloak and I was watching the Abyssinians who were performing feats in the mosque; at that time, I was a young girl.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This is the last part of the narrations regarding the permissions transmitted from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which we have dictated in various chapters. Some ahadith related to this category remain, which we will mention in other types, just as we have mentioned them in this category, according to the fundamental methodology by which we have arranged the book.

After this category, we will dictate the fifth category of the Sunan, and these are the actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which will be dictated along with their chapters and types, if Allah Almighty so decrees and wills. May Allah Almighty include us among those who are guided to the straight path, granted the ability to follow the correct way, who intended to collect the Sunan and reports, acquired understanding of authentic narrations, and preferred those deeds which can bring them closer to the presence of the Almighty, and preferred them over those things which, in principle, distance from Him. Indeed, He (i.e., Allah Almighty) is the best to be asked.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Whoever plays with dice has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger."

Sulaiman bin Buraidah narrates from his father that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever plays with dice, it is as if he has dipped his hand in the flesh and blood of a pig."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man running after a pigeon and said, "One devil is going after another devil."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The action of a person who plays with pigeons leads to a situation that Allah Almighty dislikes, so whoever commits something that Allah dislikes is a sinner, and it is permissible to call a sinner a devil, even if he is from the children of Adam. Allah Almighty has said: "Devils from among mankind and jinn." So Allah Almighty has used the word 'devil' for the sinner from both groups. Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used the word 'devil' for the pigeon metaphorically, because here the sinner's action is related to that pigeon.
