1340. It was narrated that Fadālah bin 'Ubaid said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Allāh listens more attentively to a man with a beautiful voice who recites Qur'ān out loud than the master of a singing female slave listens to his slave.'" (Da'if)
1340 - حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ، مَوْلَى فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ أَذَنًا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّوْتِ بِالْقُرْآنِ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ، مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْقَيْنَةِ إِلَى قَيْنَتِهِ»

The purpose of mentioning the similitude of a singing female slave in the Hadith, is not to accord legitimacy to the tradition of keeping slave girls. It is rather a ploy to drive home an idea to the people through reference to a well-known tradition existing in the Arabia of those times.
