Did the companions of Ibn Mas'ud tear the tambourines that were with the slave girls in the street, and why did they do that despite the permissibility of the tambourine for women on certain occasions, and how does that reconcile with the view of the majority allowing it absolutely?

Al-Albani authenticated the chain of transmission for a narration from Ibrahim al-Nakha'i that the companions of Abdullah used to tear tambourines (dufuf), and from Al-Hasan (definition) Al-Basri that tambourines are not part of the Muslims' practice, and Abdullah's companions used to rip them. However, this is understood to apply to the use of the tambourine in impermissible contexts. As for the tambourine used in permissible situations, such as weddings and Eid, it is not permissible to tear it, for the Prophet, peace be upon him, permitted the use of the tambourine in marriage and Eid. Al-Bukhari dedicated a chapter to this, and Al-Rabi' bint Mu'awwidh and Aisha narrated hadiths concerning this matter. The Prophet, peace be upon him, distinguished between lawful and unlawful by sound and the beating of the tambourine. Scholars have differentiated between the tambourine and other musical instruments. The tambourine is permissible for women to play at weddings. Imam Ahmad was asked about breaking the tanbur, oud, and drum, and he saw no issue with it. However, he did not see it permissible to break a tambourine used at a wedding. This is supported by what Al-Khallal narrated, that Abu Abdullah was asked about playing the tambourine at a wedding and he did not dislike it.
