حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ، قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَشَهِدْتَ الْعِيدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَوْلاَ مَنْزِلَتِي مِنْهُ مَا شَهِدْتُهُ مِنَ الصِّغَرِ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْعَلَمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ دَارِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَذَانًا وَلاَ إِقَامَةً قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ - قَالَ - فَجَعَلَ النِّسَاءُ يُشِرْنَ إِلَى آذَانِهِنَّ وَحُلُوقِهِنَّ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِلاَلاً فَأَتَاهُنَّ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
`Abdur Rahman bin `Abis Narrated from:
A man asked Ibn 'Abbas: Have you been present along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ? He replied: Yes. Had there been no dignity for me in his eyes, I would not have been present with him due to my minority. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to the point that was near the house of Kathir b. al-Salt. He prayed and afterwards preached. He (Ibn 'Abbas) did not mention the adhan (call to prayer) and the iqamah. He then commanded to give alms. The women began to point to their ears and throats (to give their jewelry in alms).

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1146
This Eid prayer hadith brings several points together in one report. Ibn Abbas said he attended Eid with the Messenger of Allah when he was young. The Prophet came to the marked place near the house of Kathir b. al-Salt, prayed, and then preached. The narrator does not mention adhan or iqamah. After the sermon, the Prophet commanded charity, and the women began pointing to their ears and throats, showing jewelry they could give. Bilal was then sent to them and returned to the Prophet. The report gives a clear scene of Eid worship, public teaching, and alms in one gathering.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Eid prayer was followed by the sermon.
- The narration does not mention adhan or iqamah for the Eid prayer.
- The women indicated jewelry from their ears and throats for charity.
