[Sahih Al-Bukhari]
Volume 7, Book of Drinks, Hadith no. 5590
‘There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use of ma`aazif (musical instruments)’.
(This reference is also given by Dr. Zakir Naik, yusuf estes and some other very learned Islamic scholars.)
Explanation:
So if The Prophet (May peace and blessing be upon him) said that they will make these legal after they have already been made illegal, proves that it is illegal. Detailed analysis of the Arabic word `ma`aazif ` shows that it refers to musical instruments, the sounds of those musical instruments and singing with the accompaniment of instruments. Closer analysis of the wordings of the Hadith establishes the prohibition of music. Firstly, the words `seek to make lawful ` shows that music is not permissible, as logically one can only seek to make lawful that which is not allowed. Secondly, if music was not prohibited, then it would not have been brought within the same context as fornication and wine-drinking.

Volume 7, Book of Drinks (67), Ch:1, Hadith No.494
Narrated by Abu 'Amir Al-Ash'ari (R.A):
That he heard the Prophet saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection."

Narrated by 'Urwa on the authority of 'Aisha
On the days of Mina, (11th, 12th, and
13th of Dhul-Hijjah) Abu Bakr came to her while two young girls were beating
the tambourine and the Prophet was lying covered with his clothes. Abu Bakr
scolded them and the Prophet uncovered his face and said to Abu Bakr,
"Leave them, for these days are the days of 'Eid and the days of
Mina." Aisha further said, "Once the Prophet was screening me and I was watching the display
of black slaves in the Mosque and ('Umar) scolded them. The Prophet said,
'Leave them. O Bani Arfida! (Carry on), you are safe (protected)'."
Explanation:
The reference to these two Hadith are normally given by many Muslims believing that music is Permissible , some argue that Prophet Muhammad (May Peace and Blessings be upon him) stated that “poetry contains wisdom” and He allowed the two girls to play tambourine which clarifies that music is permissible. So let’s dig into the context of these Hadith, “Some poetry contains wisdom” (This Hadith refers to that kind of poetry which brings your heart closer to Allah (s.w.t) not the satanic songs that we listen to today (which are unproductive and a waste of time). The other Hadith in which The Prophet (May Peace and Blessings be upon him) allowed the two girls to play was only because it was a day of celebration for Muslims i.e. (Eid) BUT they were only playing ‘tambourine’ (that too without any bells) as it’s the only musical instrument which is permissible in Islam so there was no music being played (like guitar, piano etc).

They will one night go to sleep after their liquor and amusement. When they arise in the morning, they will have been disfigured (and transformed into apes and pigs)."
