Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ أَمَةً سَوْدَاءَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ رَجَعَ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَذَرْتُ إِنْ رَدَّكَ اللَّهُ صَالِحًا أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عِنْدَكَ بِالدُّفِّ قَال
َ إِنْ كُنْتِ فَعَلْتِ فَافْعَلِي وَإِنْ كُنْتِ لَمْ تَفْعَلِي فَلَا تَفْعَلِي فَضَرَبَتْ فَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهِيَ تَضْرِبُ وَدَخَلَ غَيْرُهُ وَهِيَ تَضْرِبُ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عُمَرُ قَالَ فَجَعَلَتْ دُفَّهَا خَلْفَهَا وَهِيَ مُقَنَّعَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَيَفْرَقُ مِنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ أَنَا جَالِسٌ هَاهُنَا وَدَخَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ دَخَلْتَ فَعَلَتْ مَا فَعَلَتْ

English Translation
It was narrated from Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a black slave-girl came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he had returned from one of his military expeditions and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I had vowed that if Allah returned you safely, I would play the tambourine in your presence.' He said: 'If you made that vow, then do it; if you did not vow, then do not do it.' So she played. Abu Bakr entered while she was playing, and others entered while she was playing. Then 'Umar entered, and she immediately put the tambourine behind her back and sat up straight. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, the devil fears you, O 'Umar. I was sitting here and these men entered, and when you entered she did what she did.'
