Hafsa bint Sirin said, “On Id we used to forbid our girls to go out for ‘Id prayer. A lady came and
stayed at the palace of Bani Khalaf and I went to her. She said, ‘The husband of my sister took part in
twelve holy battles along with the Prophet and my sister was with her husband in six of them. My
sister said that they used to nurse the sick and treat the wounded. Once she asked, ‘O Allah’s Apostle!
If a woman has no veil, is there any harm if she does not come out (on ‘Id day)?’ The Prophet said,
‘Her companion should let her share her veil with her, and the women should participate in the good
deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers.’ ” Hafsa added, “When Um-‘Atiya came, I went
to her and asked her, ‘Did you hear anything about so-and-so?’ Um-‘Atlya said, ‘Yes, let my father be
sacrificed for the Prophet (p.b.u.h). (And whenever she mentioned the name of the Prophet she al –
ways used to say, ‘Let my father be’ sacrificed for him). He said, ‘Virgin mature girls staying often
screened (or said, ‘Mature girls and virgins staying often screened–Aiyub is not sure as which was
right) and menstruating women should come out (on the ‘Id day). But the menstruating women
should keep away from the Musalla. And all the women should participate in the good deeds and in
the religious gatherings of the believers’.” Hafsa said, “On that I said to Um-‘Atiya, ‘Also those who are
menstruating?’ ” Um-‘Atiya replied, “Yes. Do they not present themselves at ‘Arafat and elsewhere?”.

Narrated Aiyub:
Abu Qilaba said, “Malik bin Huwairith came to us and led us in the prayer in this mosque of ours
and said, ‘I lead you in prayer but I do not want to offer the prayer but just to show you how Allah’s
Apostle performed his prayers.” I asked Abu Qilaba, “How was the prayer of Malik bin Huwairith?”
He replied, “Like the prayer of this Sheikh of ours– i.e. ‘Amr bin Salima.” That Sheikh used to pro –
nounce the Takbir perfectly and when he raised his head from the second prostration he would sit
for a while and then support himself on the ground and get up.

other than that of the compulsory prayers. So (once) he stood up for prayer and performed a perfect
Qiyam (standing and reciting from the Holy Qur’an) and then bowed and performed bowing per –
fectly; then he raised his head and stood straight for a while.” Abu Qilaba added, “Malik bin
Huwairith in that demonstration prayed like this Sheikh of ours, Abu Yazid.” Abu, Yazid used to sit
(for a while) on raising his head from the second prostration before getting up.

Sheikh of ours and the Sheikh used to sit for a while after the prostration, before getting up after the
first Rak’a. “
Volume 1, Book 6, Number 321:
Narrated Aiyub:
Hafsa said, ‘We used to forbid our young women to go out for the two ‘Id prayers. A woman came
and stayed at the palace of Bani Khalaf and she narrated about her sister whose husband took part in
twelve holy battles along with the Prophet and her sister was with her husband in six (out of these
twelve). She (the woman’s sister) said, “We used to treat the wounded, look after the patients and
once I asked the Prophet, ‘Is there any harm for any of us to stay at home if she doesn’t have a veil?’
He said, ‘She should cover herself with the veil of her companion and should participate in the good
deeds and in the religious gathering of the Muslims.’ When Um ‘Atiya came I asked her whether she
had heard it from the Prophet. She replied, “Yes. May my father be sacrificed for him (the Prophet)!
(Whenever she mentioned the Prophet she used to say, ‘May my father be sacrificed for him) I have
heard the Prophet saying, ‘The unmarried young virgins and the mature girl who stay often screened
or the young unmarried virgins who often stay screened and the menstruating women should come
out and participate in the good deeds as well as the religious gathering of the faithful believers but
the menstruating women should keep away from the Musalla (praying place).’ ” Hafsa asked Um
‘Atiya surprisingly, “Do you say the menstruating women?” She replied, “Doesn’t a menstruating wo –
man attend ‘Arafat (Hajj) and such and such (other deeds)?”
