حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ زَمَّارَةِ رَاعٍ فَوَضَعَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَعَدَلَ رَاحِلَتَهُ عَنْ الطَّرِيقِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا نَافِعُ أَتَسْمَعُ فَأَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيَمْضِي حَتَّى قُلْتُ لَا فَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَعَادَ رَاحِلَتَهُ إِلَى الطَّرِيقِ وَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ زَمَّارَةِ رَاعٍ فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ هَذَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4535
It was narrated from Naafi', the freed slave of Ibn 'Umar, that Ibn Umar heard the sound of a shepherd’s flute. He put his fingers in his ears and directed his mount away from the road, saying: O Naafi', do you hear that? He said: Yes. Then he moved on until I said: No (I do not hear it any more), so he took his fingers out of his ears and brought his mount back to the road. And he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) when he heard the sound of a shepherd's flute, do something like this.
