Home Hadith Hadith 951
Ibn `Abbas was asked whether he had joined the Prophet (ﷺ) in the `Id prayer. He said, "Yes. And I could
not have joined him had I not been young. (The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) along with Bilal returned home.

The Prophet (ﷺ) went towards Al-Baqi (the graveyard at Medina) on the day of Id-ul-Adha and offered a
two-rak`at 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 Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered (the animal before the
prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said to
him, "Slaughter it. But a similar sacrifice will not be sufficient for anybody else after you."

`Ata' told me that he had heard Jabir bin `Abdullah saying, "The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 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 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?"
