حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَشَهِدَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ . قَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَكْبَرُ عِلْمِ شُعْبَةَ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْنَ يُلْقِينَ .
Abdullah ibn Abbas Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out on 'Id (the festival day). He first offered the prayer and then delivered the sermon. He then went to women, taking Bilal with him. The narrator Ibn Kathir said: The probable opinion of Shu'bah is that he commanded them to give alms. So they began to put (their jewellery).
[2] Abū Dāwud narrated this from two chains from Shu‘bah, in one of them, Muḥammad bin Kathīr stated this.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 1142In-book reference : Book 2, Hadith 753English translation : Book 3, Hadith 1138
Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1142
This narration gives another report of the Eid prayer hadith from Ibn Abbas. The Messenger of Allah came out on Eid, prayed first, and then delivered the sermon. After that, he went to the women with Bilal. The narrator mentions the probable wording that he commanded them to give alms, and the women began placing their jewelry. The core topic is Eid charity after the Eid khutbah. The text keeps the order clear: prayer, sermon, then advice to the women. It is a short report, but it gives a strong picture of worship, teaching, and giving all taking place on Eid day.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet offered the Eid prayer before giving the sermon.
- He made a separate effort to reach the women with advice.
- The women gave from their jewelry after being urged to give alms.
