Sahih Muslim Hadith 2053

English

[2053] 9 – (889) It waF narrated from Abü Sa'eed A]-I<' idri that the Messenger of Allâi used to come out on the d of Al- Ad/ia and Al-Fitr and start with the prayer. When he had prayed and said the Salâm, 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 Marwân bin Al- Hakam. I went out hand in hand with Marwân until we reached the prayer place, where KathIr bin As-Salt had built a Minbar of clay and bricks. Marwân 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, 0 Abü 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. Chapter 1.
