حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
لاَ تَبِيعُوا الْقَيْنَاتِ وَلاَ تَشْتَرُوهُنَّ وَلاَ تُعَلِّمُوهُنَّ وَلاَ خَيْرَ فِي تِجَارَةٍ فِيهِنَّ وَثَمَنُهُنَّ حَرَامٌ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ( وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ) إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not sell the (slave) female singers, not purchase them, nor teach them (to sing). And there is no good in trading in them, and their prices are unlawful. It was about the likes of this that this Ayah was revealed: And among mankind is he who purchases idle talk to divert from the way of Allah." [He said:] There is narration about this from 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.
Notes
[Abu 'Eisa said:] We only know of the Hadith of Abu Umamah, like this, from this route. Some of the people of knowledge have criticized 'Ali bin Yazid (one of the narrators) and graded him weak, and he is from Ash-Sham.
فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: [quran sura="31" aya_start="6" aya_end="6"]( وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ )[/quran] إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ ". قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَضَعَّفَهُ وَهُوَ شَامِيٌّ

He said: On this topic there is also a narration from ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb. Abū ʿĪsā said: We only know the ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah like this, from this route. Some of the people of knowledge have spoken about ʿAlī b. Yazīd and declared him weak, and he is a Syrian.

حديث أبي أمامة غريب إنما نعرفه مثل هذا من هذا الوجه وقد تكلم بعض أهل العلم في علي بن يزيد وضعفه وهو شامي
machine translationThe ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah is strange (gharīb). We only know it like this, from this route. Some of the people of knowledge have spoken about ʿAlī b. Yazīd and declared him weak, and he is a Syrian.
in جامع الترمذي, p. 1342 - Mubarakpūri
الحديث مع ما فيه من الضعف للطعن في رواته مؤول بأن أخذ الثمن عليهن حرام
machine translationDespite the weakness in it, due to the criticism of its narrators, the ḥadīth is interpreted to mean that taking payment for them is forbidden.

سنده ضعيف
machine translationIts chain is weak (ḍaʿīf).

يرويه عبيد الله بن زحر عن علي بن يزيد عن القاسم عن أبي أمامة واختلف فيه على رقبة فرواه سيف بن هارون البرجمي عن رقبة قال حدثني بعض الدمشقيين عن أبي أمامة ولم يحفظ إسناده ورواه جرير عن رقبة عن عبيد الله بن زحر عن القاسم عن أبي أمامة وعبيد الله بن زحر لم يسمعه من القاسم بينهما علي بن يزيد وهو إسناد ضعيف
machine translationʿUbaydullāh b. Zaḥr narrates it from ʿAlī b. Yazīd, from al-Qāsim, from Abū Umāmah. There is disagreement about it with respect to Raqabah: Sayf b. Hārūn al-Burjumī narrated it from Raqabah, who said: "Some of the Damascenes narrated to me, from Abū Umāmah," and he did not retain its chain of transmission. Jarīr narrated it from Raqabah, from ʿUbaydullāh b. Zaḥr, from al-Qāsim, from Abū Umāmah. But ʿUbaydullāh b. Zaḥr did not hear it from al-Qāsim; between them is ʿAlī b. Yazīd. It is a weak (ḍaʿīf) chain of transmission.
