1897. It was narrated that Abu Husain, whose name was Khâlid Al-Madani, said: "We were in Al-Madinah on the Day of 'Ashurâ', and the girls were beating the Daff and singing. We entered upon Rubai' bint Mu'awwidh and mentioned that to her. She said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me on the morning of my wedding, and there were two girls with me who were singing and mentioning the qualities of my forefathers who were killed on the Day of Badr. One of the things they were saying was: "Among us there is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow." He ﷺ said: "Do not say this, for no one knows what will happen tomorrow except Allāh." (Sahih)

Commentary
Young girls, who are not adult yet, are allowed to sing and beat the Daff at weddings.
The elderly people should allow the young children to enjoy the rejoicing activities at occasions of happiness, but if the children do something which is impermissible, their attention should be drawn to the fact that it is not a good thing.
Praise and singing the attributes of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ is a blessed deed, but the exaggeration of it is not allowed. It is permissible to express the qualities of the righteous people which they in fact possess, and exaggeration must be avoided.
The Prophet ﷺ did not have the knowledge of unseen.
