Home Hadith Hadith 1594
I asked Anas bin Malik, "Tell me what you remember from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (regarding these
questions): Where did he offer the Zuhr and `Asr prayers on the day of Tarwiya (8th day of Dhul-
Hijja)?" He relied, "(He offered these prayers) at Mina." I asked, "Where did he offer the `Asr prayer
on the day of Nafr (i.e. departure from Mina on the 12th or 13th of Dhul-Hijja)?" He replied, "At Al-
Abtah," and then added, "You should do as your chiefs do."

(On `Id) We used to forbid our virgins to go out (for `Id prayer). A lady came and stayed at the fortress
of Bani Khalaf. She mentioned that her sister was married to one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
who participated in twelve Ghazawats along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and her sister was with him in six of
them. She said, "We used to dress the wounded and look after the patients." She (her sister) asked
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , "Is there any harm for a woman to stay at home if she doesn't have a veil?" He said,
"She should cover herself with the veil of her companion and she should take part in the good deeds
and in the religious gatherings of the believers." When Um 'Atiyya came, I asked her. "Did you hear
anything about that?" Um 'Atiyya said, "Bi Abi" and she never mentioned the name of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
without saying "Bi Abi" (i.e. 'Let my father be sacrificed for you'). We asked her, "Have you heard
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying so and so (about women)?" She replied in the affirmative and said, "Let my
father be sacrificed for him. He told us that unmarried mature virgins who stay often screened or
unmarried young virgins and mature girls who stay often screened should come out and take part in
the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers. But the menstruating women should
keep away from the Musalla (praying place)." I asked her, "The menstruating women?" She replied,
"Don't they present themselves at `Arafat and at such and such places?"
