Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is meant by the Psalms of the House of David? Are they musical instruments that existed in the previous era?
Answer:
No, the Psalms of the House of David are the beautiful voice, the voice of Dawud (peace be upon him). That is, when he recited the Zabur, the birds would gather; the birds of the sky would gather. And the mountains, the mountains would also echo with the voice of Dawud (peace be upon him).[Saba 34:10] (peace and blessings be upon him).
