According to Sahih Bukhari, Rasoolullah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had a Hudi Khuwan (the person reciting couplets to make the camels run fast through the effect of the couplets and his pleasant voice) whose name was Anjashah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. He had a melodious voice. (Sayyiduna Anjashah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ recited some couplets on the occasion of a journey during which some women also accompanied the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.) The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to him, ‘O Anjashah! In low voice, in case you break the fragile bottles.’
(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 158, Hadees 6211)
Commenting on the foregoing Hadees, Hakeem-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has said, ‘The Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَلَّم meant that some women were also accompanying him during the journey; their hearts were delicate like a fragile bottle, pleasant voice would impress them and they could be motivated towards sins due to singing, therefore, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم prevented him from singing.’
(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 443)
However, there is probably no risk in listening to the Na’ats of a deceased Na’at reciter, but even now if Satan tries to make you feel sinful imagination, turn the tape off immediately repenting.
