1090. Ar-Ruba’ bint Mu’awwidh said: “The morning after the consummation of my marriage, the Prophet ﷺ came and sat on my bed as far from me as you are sitting now, and our little girls started beating the Duff and reciting verses mourning my fathers[1] who had been killed in the battle of Badr. One of them said: ‘Among us is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow.’
On that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Stop saying this, and keep on saying what you were saying before.'"
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

[1] Her father and two uncles had been killed in the battle of Badr. By saying: “My fathers” she meant that her two uncles were as dear to her as her father was.
Commentary
When the little girls uttered an improper statement in their song the Prophet ﷺ stopped them there and then. This indicates that wrong, false and unlawful things should not be permitted or appreciated at any occasion.
