8/0. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ الْفِطْرَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ يُصَلُّونَهَا قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ، ثَمَّ يُخْطَبُ بَعْدخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ حينَ يُجْلِسُ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَشُقُّهُمْ، حَتَّى جَاءَ النِّسَاءَ، مَعَهُ بِلَالٌ فَقَالَ: (يَأَيُّهَا النَّبيُّ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُؤمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ) الآيَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ حينَ فَرَغَ مِنْهَا: آنْتُنَّ عَلَى ذلِكِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ، لَمْ يُجِبْهُ غَيْرُهَا: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَتَصَدَّقْنَ فَبَسَطَ بِلَالٌ ثَوْبَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلُمَّ لَكُنَّ فِدَاءً أَبِي وَأُمِّي فَيُلْقِينَ الْفَتَخَ وَالْخَوَاتِيمَ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ.
I attended with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Abû Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthmân رضى الله عنهم the 'Eid-ul-Fitr prayers. They used to offer the prayer before the Khutba (religious talk) and then they used to deliver the Khutba afterwards. Once the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came out (for the 'Eid prayer), as if I were just observing him, waving to the people to sit down. He, then accompanied by Bilâl, came crossing the rows till he reached the women. He recited the following Verse:'O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give you the Bai'â (pledge) ....' to the end of the Verse (V.60:12). After finishing the recitation he said, "O Ladies! Are you fulfilling your covenant?" None except one woman said, "Yes." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Then give alms." Bilâl 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 Bilâl's garment. ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 95-B, Vol. 2)
حديث جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَصَلَّى، فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ نَزَلَ فَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ، وَهُوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى يَدِ بِلَالٍ، وَبِلَالٌ بَاسِطٌ ثَوْبَهُ، يُلْقِي فِيهِ النِّسَاءُ الصَّدَقَةَ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stood up to offer the prayer of 'Eid-ul-Fitr. He first offered As-Salât (the prayer) and then delivered the Khutba (religious talk). After finishing it, he got down (from the pulpit) and went towards the women and advised them while he was leaning on Bilâl's hand. Bilâl was spreading out his garment while the women were putting their alms." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 95-A, Vol. 2 )
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَا: لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤَذَّنُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَلَا يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى.
There was no Adhân for the Salât (prayer) of ' Eid-ul-Fitr and ' Eid-ul-Adha. ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 78-C, Vol. 2 )
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فِي أَوَّلِ مَا بُويِعَ لَهُ، إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤَذَّنُ بِالصَّلَاةِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ، وَإِنَّمَا الْخُطْبَةُ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ.
During the early days of Ibn Az-Zubair, Ibn 'Abbâs رضي الله عنهم had sent a message to him telling him that the Adhân for the ' Eid prayer was never pronounced (in the lifetime of Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم ) and the Khutba (religious talk) used to be delivered after As-Salât (the prayer). ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 78-B, Vol. 2 )
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ: قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، يُصَلُّونَ الْعِيدَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, Abû Bakr and 'Umar رضي الله عنهما used to offer the two ' Eid prayers before delivering the Khutba (religious talk). ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 80, Vol. 2 )
حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَالأَضْحَى إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى، فَأَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ يَبْدأُ بِهِ الصَّلَاةُ، ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَقُومُ مُقَابِلَ النَّاسِ، وَالنَّاسُ جُلُوسٌ عَلَى صُفُوفِهِمْ، فَيَعِظُهُمْ وَيُوصِيهِمْ وَيَأْمُرُهُمْ، فَإِنْ كَانَ يُريدُ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ بَعْثًا، قَطَعَهُ؛ أَوْ يَأْمُرَ بِشَيْءٍ، أَمَرَ بِهِ؛ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّاسُ عَلَى ذلِكَ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مَعَ مَرْوَانَ، وَهُوَ أَميرُ الْمَديِنةِ، فِي أَضْحًى أَوْ فِطْرٍ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا الْمُصَلَّى إِذَا مِنْبَرٌ بَنَاهُ كَثيرُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ، فَإِذَا مَرْوَانُ يُريدُ أَنْ يَرْتَقِيَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ، فَجَبَذْتُ بِثَوْبِهِ، فَجَبَذَنِي، فَارْتَفَعَ فَخَطَبَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ؛ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: غَيَّرْتُمْ وَاللهِ فَقَالَ: أَبَا سَعِيدٍ قَدْ ذَهَبَ مَا تَعْلَمُ؛ فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَعْلَمُ، وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا لَا أَعْلَمُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَجْلِسُونَ لَنَا بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَجَعَلْتُهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to proceed to the Musalla (praying place) on the days of ' Eid-ul-Fitr and ' Eid-ul-Adha; the first thing to begin with was As-Salât (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 them, advise them, and give them orders. And after that if he wished to send an army for an expedition, he would do so; or if he wanted to give an order he would do so, and then depart.The people followed this legal way till I went out with Marwân, the governor of Al-Madîna, for the Salât (prayer) of ' Eid-ul-Fitr. When we reached the Musalla, there was a pulpit made by Kathîr bin As-Salt. Marwân wanted to get up on the pulpit before the Salât. I caught hold of his clothes but he pulled them free and ascended the pulpit and delivered the Khutba before As-Salât.I said to him, "By Allâh, you have changed (the Prophet's legal way)." He replied, "O Abû Sa'îd! Gone is that which you know." I said, "By Allâh! What I know is better than what I do not know." Marwân said, "People do not sit to listen to our Khutba after As-Salât, so I delivered the Khutba before As-Salât." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 76, Vol. 2)
8/1. Chapter:
حديث أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ الْحُيَّضَ، يَوْمَ الْعِيدَيْنِ، وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ، فَيَشْهَدْنَ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَدَعْوَتَهُمْ، وَيَعْتَزِلُ الحُيَّضُ عَنْ مُصَلَاّهُنقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِحْدَانَا لَيْسَ لَهَا جِلْبَابٌ، قَالَ: لِتُلْبِسْهَا صَاحِبَتُهَا مِنْ جِلْبَابِهَا.
We were ordered to bring out our menstruating women and veiled women in the religious gatherings and invocation of Muslims on the two ' Eid festivals. These menstruating women were to keep away from their Musalla (praying place). A women asked, "O Allâh's Messenger! صلى الله عليه وسلم What about one who does not have a veil?" He said, "Let her share the veil of her companion." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 347, Vol. 1)
8/4. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعِنْدَي جَارِيَتَانِ مِنْ جَوَارِي الأَنْصَارِ، تُغَنِّيَانِ بِمَا تَقَاوَلَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ بُعَاثَ قَالَتْ: وَلَيْسَتَا بِمُغَنِّيَتَيْنفَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَمَزَاميرُ الشَّيْطَانِ فِي بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَذلِكَ فِي يَوْمِ عيدٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ عيدًا وَهذَا عيدُنَا.
Abû Bakr رضي الله عنه came to my house while two small Ansâri girls were singing beside me the stories of the Ansâr concerning the day of Bu'âth. And they were not (professional) singers. Abû Bakr رضي الله عنه said protestingly, "Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allâh's Messenger!" It happened on the 'Eid day and Allâh's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Abû Bakr! There is an 'Eid (festival) for every nation and this is our 'Eid." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 72, Vol. 2)
حديث عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَتَانِ تُغَنِّيَانِ بِغِنَاءِ بُعَاثَ، فَاضْطَجَعَ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ وَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ، وَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَانْتَهَرَني، وَقَالَ: مِزْمَارَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: دَعْهُمَا فَلَمَّا غَفَلَ غَمَزْتُهُمَا فَخَرَجَتَاوَكَانَ يَوْمَ عيدٍ يَلْعَبُ فِيهِ السُّودَانُ بِالدَّرَقِ وَالْحِرَابِ، فَإِمَّا سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: تَشْتَهِينَ تَنْظُرِينَ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ فَأَقَامَنِي وَرَاءَهُ، خَدِّي عَلَى خَدِّهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: دُونَكُمْ يَا بَنِي أَرْفِدَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا مَلِلْتُ قَالَ: حَسْبُكِ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَاذْهَبِي.
Allâh's Messenger ﷺ came to my house while two girls were singing beside me the songs of Bu'âth (a story about the war between the two tribes of the Ansâr, the Khazraj and the Aûs, before Islâm). Then Abû Bakr رضى الله عنه came and spoke to me harshly saying, "Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet?" Allâh's Messenger ﷺ turned his face towards him and said, "Leave them."When Abû Bakr رضى الله عنه became inattentive, I signalled to those girls to go out and they left, it was the day of 'Eid, and the black people were playing with shields and spears; so either I requested the Prophet ﷺ or he asked me whether I would like to see the display. I replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet ﷺ made me stand behind him and my cheek was touching his cheek and he was saying, "Carry on! O Banî Arfida," till I got tired. The Prophet ﷺ asked me, "Are you satisfied (Is that sufficient for you?)." I replied in the affirmative and he told me to leave.( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 70, Vol. 2)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها قَالَ: بَيْنَا الْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِحِرَابِهِمْ، دَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَأَهْوَى إِلَى الْحَصَى فَحَصَبَهُمْ بِهَا، فَقَالَ: دَعْهُمْ يَا عُمَرُ.
While some Ethiopians were playing in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, 'Umar came in, picked up a stone and hit them with it. On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "O 'Umar! Allow them (to play)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 150, Vol. 4)
