The Ruling on Attributing Singing to the Companions and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

Question:
What is the ruling on one who says that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) had singers and that they stayed up late listening to singing, and he mentions among them 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)?

Answer:
This is a liar, and may Allah protect us from that. He is not lying to the general public, but rather to the best of the Companions after Abu Bakr, who is 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). So this is a liar. And whoever hears this should say to him: "Bring us what proves that 'Umar listened." Bring us what proves it. He will be unable to do so and will be silenced, because there is no evidence for his claim.
So whoever claims that the Companions did something, you must say to him: "Bring me what proves your statement." Or even regarding individuals, if someone claims that a Muslim did such-and-such or said such-and-such, say to him: "Bring what proves my statement," otherwise you are a liar and you are being disbelieved. Yes.
