The Two Festivals (Eids)
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."
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.
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)."
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."
Narrated Anas bin Malik,:
Allah's Apostle never proceeded (for the prayer) on the Day of
'Id-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Anas also narrated: The
Prophet used to eat odd number of dates.
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.
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."
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."
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar:
Allah's Apostle used to offer the prayer of 'Id-ul-Adha and
'Id-ul-Fitr and then deliver the Khutba after the prayer.
Narrated 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, �- 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?"
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
I offered the 'Id prayer with Allah's Apostle, Abu Bakr, Umar and
'Uthman and all of them offered the prayer before delivering the
Khutba.
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Allah's Apostle, Abu Bakr and Umar! used to offer the two 'Id prayers
before delivering the Khutba.
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet offered a two Rakat prayer on the Day of Id ul Fitr and he
did not pray before or after it. Then he went towards women along with
Bilal and ordered them to pay alms and so they started giving their
earrings and necklaces (in charity).
Narrated 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."
Narrated Said bin 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."
Narrated Said bin 'Amr bin Said bin Al-'Aas:
Al-Hajjaj went to Ibn Umar while I was present there. Al-Hajjaj asked
Ibn Umar, "How are you?" Ibn Umar replied, "I am all right,"
Al-Hajjaj asked, "Who wounded you?" Ibn Umar replied, "The person who
allowed arms to be carried on the day on which it was forbidden to
carry them (he meant Al-Hajjaj)"
Narrated Al-Bara':
The Prophet delivered the Khutba on the day of Nahr ('Id-ul-Adha) and
said, "The first thing we should do on this day of ours is to pray and
then return and slaughter (our sacrifices). So anyone who does so he
acted according to our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered before the
prayer then it was just meat that he offered to his family and would
not be considered as a sacrifice in any way. My uncle Abu Burda bin
Niyyar got up and said, "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 sacrifice for
anybody else after you."
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to
those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)." Then some
companions of the Prophet said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not
even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and
his property in danger (for Allah's sake) and does not return with any
of those things."
Narrated Muhammad bin Abi Bakr Al-Thaqafi:
While we were going from Mina to 'Arafat, I asked Anas bin Malik,
about Talbiya, "How did you use to say Talbiya in the company of the
Prophet?" Anas said: "People used to say Talbiya and their saying was
not objected to and they used to say Takbir and that was not objected
to either. "
Narrated Um 'Atiya:
We used to be ordered to come out on the Day of 'Id and even bring out
the virgin girls from their houses and menstruating women so that they
might stand behind the men and say Takbir along with them and invoke
Allah along with them and hope for the blessings of that day and for
purification from sins.
Narrated Ibn Umar: On the day of 'Id-ul-Fitr and 'Id-ul-Adha a spear
used to be planted in front of the Prophet I (as a Sutra for the
prayer) and then he would pray.
Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet used to proceed to the Musalla and an 'Anaza used to be
carried before him and planted in the Musalla in front of him and he
would pray facing it (as a Sutra).
Narrated Muhammad:
Um 'Atiyya said: "Our Prophet ordered us to come out (on 'Id day) with
the mature girls and the virgins staying in seclusion." Hafsa narrated
the above mentioned Hadith and added, "The mature girls or virgins
staying in seclusion but the menstruating women had to keep away from
the Musalla."
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
I (in my boyhood) went out with the Prophet on the day of 'Id ul Fitr
or Id-ul-Adha. The Prophet prayed and then delivered the Khutba and
then went towards the women, preached and advised them and ordered
them to give alms.
Narrated Al-Bara':
The Prophet went towards Al-Baqi (the grave-yard at Medina) on the day
of Id-ul-Adha and offered a two-Rakat 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 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."
Narrated 'Abdur 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 joined him had I not been
young. (The Prophet 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 along with Bilal returned home.
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.
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?".
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.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to Nahr or slaughter sacrifices at the
Musalla (on 'Id-ul-Adha).
Narrated Al-Bara' 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."
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 100:
Narrated Anas bin 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.
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 101:
Narrated Jundab:
On the day of Nahr the Prophet offered the prayer and delivered the
Khutba and then slaughtered the sacrifice and said, "Anybody who
slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the prayer should slaughter another
animal in lieu of it, and the one who has not yet slaughtered should
slaughter the sacrifice mentioning Allah's name on it."
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 102:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
On the Day of 'Id the Prophet used to return (after offering the 'Id
prayer) through a way different from that by which he went.
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 103:
Narrated 'Urwa on the authority of 'Aisha:
On the days of Mina, (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) Abu Bakr
came to her while two young girls were beating the tambourine and the
Prophet was lying 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 further
said, "Once the Prophet was screening me and I was watching the
display of black slaves in the Mosque and ('Umar) scolded them. The
Prophet said, 'Leave them. O Bani Arfida! (carry on), you are safe
(protected)'."
Volume 2, Book 15, Number 104:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet went out and offered a two Rakat prayer on the Day of 'Id
ul Fitr and did not offer any other prayer before or after it and at
that time Bilal was accompanying him.
