Nafi’ narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) heard the sound of a shepherd’s flute, so he put his fingers in his ears and moved his mount off the path and went far away. (After going some distance) he said: O Nafi’! Are you still hearing the sound? He replied: Yes. So he kept walking until I said that now the sound is no longer audible. Then he lowered his hands and brought his mount back onto the path and said: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do the same when he heard the sound of a shepherd’s flute.
