حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: (فَهُمْ فِي رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ ) قَالَ السَّمَّاعُ . وَمَعْنَى السَّمَّاعِ مِثْلَ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ الْحُورَ الْعِينَ يُرَفِّعْنَ بِأَصْوَاتِهِنَّ .
Yahya bin Abi Kathir Narrated from:
[ From Yahya bin Abi Kathir, concerning His (Allah's), the Mighty and Glorious, statement: "Then They Shall Be In Gardens Living Luxuriously" He Said: "Listening." And The Meaning Of Listening Is Similar To What Has Been Mentioned In The Hadith That Al-Hur Al-'Ein Raise Their Voices].

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2565
This report is not a direct Prophetic statement in the wording given. It quotes Yahya bin Abi Kathir explaining the verse about people being in gardens living luxuriously. He says the meaning is listening. The report then explains that this listening is similar to what was mentioned about Al-Hur Al-'Ein raising their voices. So the focus is a joyful scene in Paradise, where listening itself is part of delight. The wording stays close to the idea of pleasure, beauty, and sound in Jannah. A good explanation should not turn this into a broad ruling about music or entertainment, because the text only links the verse's joy with listening in Paradise.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report explains a Qur'anic phrase through the idea of listening.
- The listening is linked to the raised voices of Al-Hur Al-'Ein.
- The text presents sound as part of joy in Paradise.
- The report should not be stretched into unrelated rulings.
