1650 - Abu 'Abd Allah narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Talhah, from Sa'id ibn Ka'b al-Muradi, from Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, from Ibn Mas'ud, who said: "Singing sprouts hypocrisy in the heart just as water sprouts crops, and indeed, dhikr (remembrance of Allah) sprouts faith in the heart just as water sprouts crops."
