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.
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 'Id-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates.
Anas 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."

'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, ú- 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?"
Volume 2, Book 15,

Number 82:
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."

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."

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

The Prophet went towards Al-Baqi (the
grave-yard at Medina) on the day of Id-ul-Adha and offered a

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."
Volume 2, Book 15,
Number 94:
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.
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.

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."

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.

On the day of Nahr the Prophet offered the

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
