On the days of Mina, (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) Abu Bakr came to her while two

days are the days of ‘Id 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

The Prophet went towards Al-Baqi (the grave-yard at Medina) on the day of Id-ul-Adha and
offered a two-Rakat prayer (of ‘Id-ul-Adha) and then faced us and said, “On this day of ours, our
first act of worship is the offering of prayer and then we will return and slaughter the sacrifice, and
whoever does this concords with our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before that (i.e.
before the prayer) then that was a thing which he prepared earlier for his family and it would not be
considered as a Nusuk (sacrifice.)” A man stood up and said, “O, Allah’s Apostle! I slaughtered (the
animal before the prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep.” The

else after you.”

Narrated ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Abis:
Ibn Abbas was asked whether he had joined the Prophet in the ‘Id prayer. He said, “Yes. And I
could not have joined him had I not been young. (The Prophet came out) till he reached the mark
which was near the house of Kathir bin As-Salt, offered the prayer, delivered the Khutba and then
went towards the women. Bilal was accompanying him. He preached to them and advised them and
ordered them to give alms. I saw the women putting their ornaments with their outstretched hands
into Bilal’s garment. Then the Prophet along with Bilal returned home.
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 95:
Narrated Ibn Juraij:
‘Ata’ told me that he had heard Jabir bin ‘Abdullah saying, “The Prophet stood up to offer the pray –
er of the ‘Id ul Fitr. He first offered the prayer and then delivered the Khutba. After finishing it he got
down (from the pulpit) and went towards the women and advised them while he was leaning on
Bilal’s hand. Bilal was spreading out his garment where the women were putting their alms.” I asked
‘Ata’ whether it was the Zakat of ‘Id ul Fitr. He said, “No, it was just alms given at that time. Some lady
put her finger ring and the others would do the same.” I said, (to ‘Ata’), “Do you think that it is in –
cumbent upon the Imam to give advice to the women (on ‘Id day)?” He said, “No doubt, it is incum –
bent upon the Imams to do so and why should they not do so?” Al-Hasan bin Muslim told me that
Ibn Abbas had said, “I join the Prophet, Abu Bakr, Umar and ‘Uthman in the ‘Id ul Fitr prayers. They
used to offer the prayer before the Khutba and then they used to deliver the Khutba afterwards. Once
the Prophet I came out (for the ‘Id prayer) as if I were just observing him waving to the people to sit
down. He, then accompanied by Bilal, came crossing the rows till he reached the women. He recited
the following verse: ‘O Prophet! When the believing women come to you to take the oath of fealty to
you . . . (to the end of the verse) (60.12).’ After finishing the recitation he said, “O ladies! Are you ful –
filling your covenant?” None except one woman said, “Yes.” Hasan did not know who was that wo –
man. The Prophet said, “Then give alms.” Bilal spread his garment and said, “Keep on giving alms. Let
my father and mother sacrifice their lives for you (ladies).” So the ladies kept on putting their Fatkhs
(big rings) and other kinds of rings in Bilal’s garment.” Abdur-Razaq said, ” ‘Fatkhs’ is a big ring
which used to be worn in the (Pre-lslamic) period of ignorance.
