It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "I attended the prayer of ('Id) Al-Fitr with the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w), Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman, and all of them prayed before the Khutbah, then delivered the Khutbah. The Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) came down, and it is as if I can see him, gesturing to the men to remain sitting, then passing through them and going to the women, accompanied by Bilal. He said: "O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give you the Bay'ah (pledge), that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah..." and he recited this verse until the end, then he said: "Do you adhere to that?" One woman said: "Yes, O Prophet of Allah," and no one else answered him. At that time I did not know who she was. He said: "Give charity," and BiHil spread his garment and said: "Come on, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you!" And they started to throw their bracelets and rings into the garment of Bilal.

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ - قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ - أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ صَلاَةَ الْفِطْرِ مَعَ نَبِىِّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَبِى بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ فَكُلُّهُمْ يُصَلِّيهَا قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ يَخْطُبُ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كَأَنِّى أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حِينَ يُجَلِّسُ الرِّجَالَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَشُقُّهُمْ حَتَّى جَاءَ النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَقَالَ (يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا) فَتَلاَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْهَا « أَنْتُنَّ عَلَى ذَلِكِ » فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ غَيْرُهَا مِنْهُنَّ نَعَمْ يَا نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ لاَ يُدْرَى حِينَئِذٍ مَنْ هِىَ قَالَ « فَتَصَدَّقْنَ ». فَبَسَطَ بِلاَلٌ ثَوْبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلُمَّ فِدًى لَكُنَّ أَبِى وَأُمِّى. فَجَعَلْنَ يُلْقِينَ الْفَتَخَ وَالْخَوَاتِمَ فِى ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ.

Ibn 'Abbas said: "I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) prayed before the Khutbah, then he delivered the Khutbah. He realized that the women could not hear him, so he went to them and reminded and exhorted them, and told them to give charity. Bilal spread out his cloak and the women started to throw their rings, earrings and other things.

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَصَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَبِلاَلٌ قَائِلٌ بِثَوْبِهِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِى الْخَاتَمَ وَالْخُرْصَ وَالشَّىْءَ.

It was narrated from Ibn Juraij from 'Ata', from that Jabir bin 'Abdullah, who said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) stood one day on ('Id) Al-Fitr and prayed. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, then he addressed the people. When the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) had finished he came down and went to the women, and he reminded them while leaning on Bilal's arm. Bilal spread his garment and the women threw charity into it. I said to 'Ata': "Was it the Zakat Al-Fitr?" He said: "No, rather it was charity that they gave at that time; women threw in their bracelets and so on." I said to 'Ata': "Is it a duty of the Imam now to go to the woman when he has finished his Khutbah and address them? He said: "Yes, for the life of me, that is a duty for them, and why is it that they do not do that?"

وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَطَاءٌ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَامَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَصَلَّى فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- نَزَلَ وَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَهُوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى يَدِ بِلاَلٍ وَبِلاَلٌ بَاسِطٌ ثَوْبَهُ يُلْقِينَ النِّسَاءُ صَدَقَةً. قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ زَكَاةَ يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ صَدَقَةً يَتَصَدَّقْنَ بِهَا حِينَئِذٍ تُلْقِى الْمَرْأَةُ فَتَخَهَا وَيُلْقِينَ وَيُلْقِينَ. قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ أَحَقًّا عَلَى الإِمَامِ الآنَ أَنْ يَأْتِىَ النِّسَاءَ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ فَيُذَكِّرَهُنَّ قَالَ إِى لَعَمْرِى إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَحَقٌّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا لَهُمْ لاَ يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ.

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "I attended 'Id prayer with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and he started with the prayer before the Khutbah, with no Adhan and no Iqamah. Then he stood, leaning on Bilal, and enjoined Taqwa of Allah and urged us to obey Him, and exhorted and reminded the people. Then he went to the women, and exhorted and reminded them. He said: 'Give charity, for most of you are fuel for Hell.' A woman with dark cheeks, who was one of the best of women, stood up and said: 'Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Because you complain a great deal, and you are ungrateful to your husbands.' They started giving their jewelry in charity, throwing their earrings and rings into the cloak of Bilal."

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِى سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى بِلاَلٍ فَأَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَحَثَّ عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ وَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَذَكَّرَهُمْ ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَكَّرَهُنَّ فَقَالَ « تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ ». فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ سِطَةِ النِّسَاءِ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ فَقَالَتْ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ « لأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ الشَّكَاةَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ ». قَالَ فَجَعَلْنَ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِنَّ يُلْقِينَ فِى ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ مِنْ أَقْرِطَتِهِنَّ وَخَوَاتِمِهِنَّ.

It was narrated from Ibn Juraij who said: "'Ata' informed me from Ibn 'Abbas and Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari who said: 'There was no Adhan called on the day of Al-Fitr or Al-Adha.' I asked him about that later on and he said: 'Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari informed me that there was no Adhan for the prayer on the day of Al-Fitr, neither before the Imam came out nor afterwards, and there was no Iqamah or call or anything; no call on that day and no Iqamah .'"

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَطَاءٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِىِّ قَالاَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤَذَّنُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَلاَ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى. ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ بَعْدَ حِينٍ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرَنِى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِى جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِىُّ أَنْ لاَ أَذَانَ لِلصَّلاَةِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ الإِمَامُ وَلاَ بَعْدَ مَا يَخْرُجُ وَلاَ إِقَامَةَ وَلاَ نِدَاءَ وَلاَ شَىْءَ لاَ نِدَاءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةَ.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas sent word to Ibn Az-Zubair when allegiance was first sworn to him, saying: "There is no Adhan called on the day of Al-Fitr, so do not have the Adhan called." So Ibn Az-Zubair did not have the Adhan called for it on that day. And he also sent word to him saying: "The Khutbah comes after the prayer; this is how it was done." So Ibn Az-Zubair prayed before the Khutbah.

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَطَاءٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَوَّلَ مَا بُويِعَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤَذَّنُ لِلصَّلاَةِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَلاَ تُؤَذِّنْ لَهَا - قَالَ - فَلَمْ يُؤَذِّنْ لَهَا ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَوْمَهُ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا الْخُطْبَةُ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ يُفْعَلُ - قَالَ - فَصَلَّى ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (s.a.w) 'Abu Bakr and 'Umar used to Offer the 'Id prayer before the Khutbah.

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ الْعِيدَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) used to come out on the day of Al-Adha and Al-Fitr and start with the prayer. When he had prayed and said the Salam, he stood up and turned to the people, who were sitting where they had prayed. If he needed to send out an army he would do so, and if he needed to issue any other orders, he would do so. And he used to say: "Give charity, give charity, give charity." The ones who gave the most charity were the women. Then he would depart. It continued like that until the time of Marwan bin Al-Hakam. I went out hand in hand with Marwan until we reached the prayer place, where Kathir bin As-Salt had built a Minbar of clay and bricks. Marwan started to pull me with his hand, as if he wanted to pull me towards the Minbar, and I was trying to pull him towards the prayer. When I realized what he was doing, I said to him: "What about starting with the prayer?" He said: "No, O Abu Sa'eed, what you know has been abandoned." I said: "No, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul! You are not doing anything better than what I know" - three times, then he left.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كَانَ يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى وَيَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَيَبْدَأُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَإِذَا صَلَّى صَلاَتَهُ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ فِى مُصَلاَّهُمْ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ بِبَعْثٍ ذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّاسِ أَوْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِهَا وَكَانَ يَقُولُ « تَصَدَّقُوا تَصَدَّقُوا تَصَدَّقُوا ». وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَ مَنْ يَتَصَدَّقُ النِّسَاءُ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى كَانَ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ فَخَرَجْتُ مُخَاصِرًا مَرْوَانَ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْمُصَلَّى فَإِذَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ قَدْ بَنَى مِنْبَرًا مِنْ طِينٍ وَلَبِنٍ فَإِذَا مَرْوَانُ يُنَازِعُنِى يَدَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يَجُرُّنِى نَحْوَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَأَنَا أَجُرُّهُ نَحْوَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ أَيْنَ الاِبْتِدَاءُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ قَدْ تُرِكَ مَا تَعْلَمُ. قُلْتُ كَلاَّ وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَأْتُونَ بِخَيْرٍ مِمَّا أَعْلَمُ. ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ.

It was narrated that Umm 'Atiyyah said: "On the two 'Id, the Prophet (s.a.w) commanded us to bring out the girls who had attained puberty and those who were in seclusion, but he told the menstruating women to keep away from the Musalla (prayer-place) of the Muslims."

حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ أَمَرَنَا - تَعْنِى النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - أَنْ نُخْرِجَ فِى الْعِيدَيْنِ الْعَوَاتِقَ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ وَأَمَرَ الْحُيَّضَ أَنْ يَعْتَزِلْنَ مُصَلَّى الْمُسْلِمِينَ.

It was narrated that Umm 'Atiyyah said: "We were commanded to bring out women in seclusion and virgins on the two 'Id. And the menstruating women were to come out but stay behind the people, reciting Takbir with the people."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ بِالْخُرُوجِ فِى الْعِيدَيْنِ وَالْمُخَبَّأَةُ وَالْبِكْرُ قَالَتِ الْحُيَّضُ يَخْرُجْنَ فَيَكُنَّ خَلْفَ النَّاسِ يُكَبِّرْنَ مَعَ النَّاسِ.
