The Reciter: Abu al-Tahir narrated to me, informing us that Ibn Wahb informed us, and Yunus informed me from Ibn Shihab from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, who said: Aisha said: Sahih Muslim 892d.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest, what a strange thing, meaning that people were performing a display in the mosque, because playing with spears is like playing with rifles or swords among us. They performed this display in the mosque. What do you think would happen if this were done now? Some people would demolish the mosque along with those inside it, because in their view, this is one of the greatest evils. And this Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the leader of the Ummah, yet he allowed them to play in the mosque.
It also contains evidence of the good character of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for he stood until she had her fill, standing until she was the one to leave. He did not say, "That is enough, you have seen them the first time, and it is over." No, he let her remain until she had her fill. And there is no wonder in that, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the best of people in character. One day he was in prostration, and al-Hasan or al-Husayn came and climbed onto his back, so he carried him on his back, as children do now. He prolonged his prostration and informed [the people] that his son had climbed onto him, so he wanted to let him have his fill. This is part of good character, and we ask Allah to help us with it.
It also indicates that games are a form of amusement, but it is permissible amusement. And it appears, and Allah knows best, from the context of Muslim regarding the hadith of these people, that this was during the days of the festival.
The Reciter: Harees ibn Sa'id al-A'ili and Yunus ibn 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us, and the wording is Harees's. They said: Ibn Wahb narrated to us, and 'Amr informed us that Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman informed him from Urwah from Aisha, who said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2906, 2907
BY Allah, I remember the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) standing on the door of my apartment screening me with his mantle enabling me to see the sport of the Abyssinians as they played with their daggers in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upom him). He (the Holy Prophet) kept standing for my sake till I was satiated and then I went back; and thus you can well imagine how long a girl tender of age who is fond of sports (could have watched it).
والله لقد رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقوم على باب حجرتي والحبشة يلعبون بحرابهم في مسجد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يسترني بردائه لكي أنظر إلى لعبهم ثم يقوم من أجلي حتى أكون أنا التي أنصرف فاقدروا قدر الجارية الحديثة السن حريصة على اللهوThe Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest, what a strange thing, meaning that people were performing a display in the mosque, because playing with spears is like playing with rifles or swords among us.
