Narated By ‘Abdullah bin Umar: Umar bought a silk cloak from the market, took it to Allah’s
Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Take it and adorn yourself with it during the ‘Id and when
the delegations visit you.” Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) replied, “This dress is for those who have no
share (in the Hereafter).” After a long period Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) sent to Umar a cloak of silk
brocade. Umar came to Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) with the cloak and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You
said that this dress was for those who had no share (in the Hereafter); yet you have sent me this
cloak.” Allah’s Apostle said to him, “Sell it and fulfill your needs by it.”

Narated By ‘Aisha: Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) came to my house while two girls were singing
beside me the songs of Buath (a story about the war between the two tribes of the Ansar, the
Khazraj and the Aus, before Islam). The Prophet (p.b.u.h) lay down and turned his face to the
other side. Then Abu Bakr came and spoke to me harshly saying, “Musical instruments of Satan
near the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ?” Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) turned his face towards him and said,
“Leave them.” When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I signalled to those girls to go out and they
left. It was the day of ‘Id, and the Black people were playing with shields and spears; so either I
requested the Prophet (p.b.u.h) or he asked me whether I would like to see the display. I replied
in the affirmative. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) made me stand behind him and my cheek was
touching his cheek and he was saying, “Carry on! O Bani Arfida,” till I got tired. The Prophet
(p.b.u.h) asked me, “Are you satisfied (Is that sufficient for you)?” I replied in the affirmative and
he told me to leave.

meat,” and he mentioned something about his neighbors. It seemed that the Prophet I believed
him. Then the same man added, “I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than the meat
of two sheep.” The Prophet permitted him to slaughter it as a sacrifice. I do not know whether
that permission was valid only for him or for others as well.

Narated By Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib: The Prophet delivered the Khutba after offering the prayer on
the Day of Nahr and said, “Whoever offers the prayer like us and slaughters like us then his
Nusuk (sacrifice) will be accepted by Allah. And whoever slaughters his sacrifice before the ‘Id
prayer then he has not done the sacrifice.” Abi Burda bin Niyar, the uncle of Al-Bara’ said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! I have slaughtered my sheep before the ‘Id prayer and I thought today as a day
of eating and drinking (not alcoholic drinks), and I liked that my sheep should be the first to be
slaughtered in my house. So slaughtered my sheep and took my food before coming for the
prayer.” The Prophet said, “The sheep which you have slaughtered is just mutton (not a
Nusuk).” He (Abu Burda) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have a young she-goat which is dearer to
me than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a Nusuk on my behalf? “The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
“Yes, it will be sufficient for you but it will not be sufficient (as a Nusuk) for anyone else after
you.”

Narated By Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri: The Prophet used to proceed to the Musalla on the days of
Id-ul-Fitr and Id-ul-Adha; the first thing to begin with was the prayer and after that he would
stand in front of the people and the people would keep sitting in their rows. Then he would
preach to them, advise them and give them orders, (i.e. Khutba). And after that if he wished to
send an army for an expedition, he would do so; or if he wanted to give and order, he would do
so, and then depart. The people followed this tradition till I went out with Marwan, the Governor
of Medina, for the prayer of Id-ul-Adha or Id-ul-Fitr.When we reached the Musalla, there was a pulpit made by Kathir bin As-Salt. Marwan
wanted to get up on that pulpit before the prayer. I got hold of his clothes but he pulled
them and ascended the pulpit and delivered the Khutba before the prayer. I said to him,
“By Allah, you have changed (the Prophet’s tradition).” He replied, “O Abu Sa’id! Gone
is that which you know.” I said, “By Allah! What I know is better than what I do not
know.” Marwan said, “People do not sit to listen to our Khutba after the prayer, so I
delivered the Khutba before the prayer.”

days of IbnAz-Zubair, Ibn Abbas had sent a message to him telling him that the Adhan for the

delivered after the prayer. Ata told me that Ibn Abbas and Jabir bin ‘Abdullah, had said, ú-
where was no Adhan for the prayer of ‘7d-ul-Fitr and ‘Id-ul-Aqha.” ‘At a’ said, “I heard Jabir bin

Khutba. When the Prophet of Allah (p.b.u.h) finished (the Khutba), he went to the women and
preached to them, while he was leaning on Bilal’s hand. Bilal was spreading his garment and
the ladies were putting alms in it.’ ” I said to Ata, “Do you think it incumbent upon an Imam to go
to the women and preach to them after finishing the prayer and Khutba?” ‘Ata’ said, “No doubt it
is incumbent on Imams to do so, and why should they not do so?”

Narated By Ibn Juraij: ‘Ata’ told me that he had heard Jabir bin ‘Abdullah saying, “The Prophet
stood up to offer the prayer 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 advisedthem 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 incumbent upon the Imam to give advice to
the women (on ‘Id day)?” He said, “No doubt, it is incumbent 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
fulfilling your covenant?” None except one woman said, “Yes.” Hasan did not know who was
that woman. 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.

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

‘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
