Narrated '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."
Volume

Narrated 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.
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 71:
Narrated Al-Bara':
I heard the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) delivering a Khutba saying, "The
first thing to be done on this day (first day of
'Id ul Adha) is to pray; and after returning from
the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the
name of Allah) and whoever does so, he acted
according to our Sunna (traditions)."
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 72:
Narrated Aisha:
Abu Bakr came to my
house while two small Ansari girls were singing
beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the
Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr
said protestingly, "Musical instruments of
Satan in the house of Allah's Apostle !" It
happened on the 'Id day and Allah's Apostle said,
"O Abu Bakr! There is an 'Id for every nation
and this is our 'Id."
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 73:
Narrated Anas bin
Malik,:
Allah's Apostle
never proceeded (for the prayer) on the Day of

also narrated: The Prophet used to eat odd number
of dates.
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 74:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before
the 'Id prayer, should slaughter again." A
man stood up and said, "This is the day on
which one has desire for 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.
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 75:
Narrated 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."
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 76:
Narrated 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."

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, รบ- 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?"

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."

Jubair:
I was with Ibn Umar
when a spear head pierced the sole of his foot and
his foot stuck to the paddle of the saddle and I
got down and pulled his foot out, and that
happened in Mina. Al-Hajjaj got the news and came
to enquire about his health and said, "Alas!
If we could only know the man who wounded
you!" Ibn Umar 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."

The Prophet went
towards Al-Baqi (the grave-yard at Medina) on the

(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 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."

Rahman bin 'Abis:
Ibn Abbas was asked
whether he had joined the Prophet in the 'Id
prayer. He said, "Yes. And I could not have

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.
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 95:
Narrated 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-lslamic) period of ignorance.
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 96:
Narrated 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?".
Volume
2, Book 15, Number 97:
Narrated Um-'Atiya:
We were ordered to
go out (for 'Id) and also to take along with us
the menstruating women, mature girls and virgins
staying in seclusion. (Ibn 'Aun said, "Or
mature virgins staying in seclusion)." The
menstruating women could present themselves at the
religious gathering and invocation of Muslims but
should keep away from their Musalla.

bin 'Azib:
On the day of Nahr
Allah's Apostle delivered the Khutba after the 'Id
prayer and said, "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."

Malik:
Allah's Apostle .~
offered the prayer on the day of Nahr and then
delivered the Khutba and ordered that whoever had
slaughtered his sacrifice before the prayer should
repeat it, that is, should slaughter another
sacrifice. Then a person from the Ansar stood up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! because of my
neighbors (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.

covered with his clothes. Abu Bakr scolded them
and the Prophet uncovered his face and said to Abu
Bakr, "Leave them, for these days are the
days of 'Id and the days of Mina." 'Aisha
