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 fulfil 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.

Narated By Al-Bara' bin 'Azib : The Prophet delivered the Khutba after offering the prayer on the Day of Nahr and

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."

had sent a message to him telling him that the Adhan for the 'Id Prayer was never pronounced (in the life time of
Allah's Apostle) and the Khutba used to be 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 'Abdullah saying, 'The Prophet stood up and started with the prayer, and after it he delivered the 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?"

family and would not be considered as Nusuk." A person from the Ansar named Abu Burda bin Niyyar said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I slaughtered the Nusuk (before the prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an
older sheep." The Prophet I said, "Sacrifice it in lieu of the first, but it will be not sufficient (as a sacrifice) for

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 Prophet (p.b.u.h) said to him, "Slaughter it. But a similar sacrifice will not be sufficient for
anybody else after you."

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

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 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?" 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-Islamic) period of ignorance.

Narated By Aiyub : 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 always 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?".

"Anyone who prayed like us and slaughtered the sacrifice like we did then he acted according to our (Nusuk)
tradition of sacrificing, and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, then that was just mutton (i.e. not
sacrifice)." Abu Burda bin Naiyar stood up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, I slaughtered my sacrifice before I
offered the (Id) prayer and thought that today was the day of eating and drinking (non-alcoholic drinks) and so I
made haste (in slaughtering) and ate and also fed my family and neighbors." Allah's Apostle said, "That was just
mutton (not a sacrifice)." Then Abu Burda said, "I have a young she-goat and no doubt, it is better than two sheep.
Will that be sufficient as a sacrifice for me?" The Prophet replied, "Yes. But it will not be sufficient for anyone else
(as a sacrifice), after you."

Narated By Ibn Juraij : 'Ata' said, "Jabir bin 'Abdullah said, 'The Prophet went out on the Day of 'Id-ul-Fitr and
offered the prayer before delivering the Khutba, Ata told me that during the early days of IbnAz-Zubair, Ibn Abbas
had sent a message to him telling him that the Adhan for the 'Id Prayer was never pronounced (in the life time of
Allah's Apostle) and the Khutba used to be 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 'Abdullah saying, 'The Prophet stood up and started with the prayer, and after it he delivered the 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 Al-Bara' bin 'Azib : The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The first thing that we should do on this day of ours is to
pray and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. So anyone who does so, he acted according to our Sunna
(tradition), and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, it was just meat which he presented to his
family and would not be considered as Nusuk." A person from the Ansar named Abu Burda bin Niyyar said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I slaughtered the Nusuk (before the prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an
older sheep." The Prophet I said, "Sacrifice it in lieu of the first, but it will be not sufficient (as a sacrifice) for
anybody else after you."

said, "You are the one who wounded me." Al-Hajjaj said, "How is that?" Ibn Umar said, "You have allowed the arms
to be carried on a day on which nobody used to carry them and you allowed arms to be carried in the Haram even
though it was not allowed before."

"O, Allah's Apostle! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer but I have a young she-goat which is better than
an older sheep." The Prophet said, "Slaughter it in lieu of the first and such a goat will not be considered as a

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 Prophet (p.b.u.h) said to him, "Slaughter it. But a similar sacrifice will not be sufficient for
anybody else after you."

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.

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 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?" 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-Islamic) period of ignorance.

Narated By Aiyub : 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 always 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?".

"Anyone who prayed like us and slaughtered the sacrifice like we did then he acted according to our (Nusuk)
tradition of sacrificing, and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, then that was just mutton (i.e. not
sacrifice)." Abu Burda bin Naiyar stood up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, I slaughtered my sacrifice before I
offered the (Id) prayer and thought that today was the day of eating and drinking (non-alcoholic drinks) and so I
made haste (in slaughtering) and ate and also fed my family and neighbors." Allah's Apostle said, "That was just
mutton (not a sacrifice)." Then Abu Burda said, "I have a young she-goat and no doubt, it is better than two sheep.
Will that be sufficient as a sacrifice for me?" The Prophet replied, "Yes. But it will not be sufficient for anyone else
(as a sacrifice), after you."

(he described them as being very needy or poor) I slaughtered before the prayer. I have a young she-goat which,
in my opinion, is better than two sheep." The Prophet gave him the permission for slaughtering it as a sacrifice.
