402 – (The Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—said: “Some people from my nation will surely drink wine, calling it by another name, while musical instruments are played and female singers perform over their heads. Allah will cause the earth to swallow them and turn some of them into apes and swine.” Reported by Ibn Mājah.) p. 295

Authentic. It was also narrated by Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Hibbān, Ahmad, and others through a chain containing an unidentified narrator, as I explained in al-Ahādīth al-Sahīhah. However, it has corroborating narrations through authentic chains, which I cited there, together with a refutation of Ibn Hazm and a demonstration of his error in grading it weak, as noted two hadiths ago.
