abudawud:1146Muḥammad b. Kathīr > Sufyān > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿĀbis

A man asked Ibb '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).

سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَشَهِدْتَ الْعِيدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَوْلاَ مَنْزِلَتِي مِنْهُ مَا شَهِدْتُهُ مِنَ الصِّغَرِ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ

Ibn ʿAbbas was asked whether he had joined the Prophet ﷺ in the ʿId prayer. He said, "Yes. And I could not have joined him had I not been young. (The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ along with Bilal returned home.

I heard Ibn ʿAbbas answering a man who asked him, "Did you attend the prayer of ʿId al Adha or ʿIdal- Fitr with Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Ibn ʿAbbas replied, "Yes, and had it not been for my close relationship with him, I could not have offered it." (That was because of his young age). Ibn ʿAbbas further said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and offered the Id prayer and then delivered the sermon." Ibn ʿAbbas did not mention anything about the Adhan (the call for prayer) or the Iqama. He added, "Then the Prophet ﷺ went to the women and instructed them and gave them religious advice and ordered them to give alms and I saw them reaching out (their hands to) their ears and necks (to take off the earrings and necklaces, etc.) and throwing (it) towards Bilal. Then the Prophet ﷺ returned with Bilal to his house . "

Ibn ʿAbbas was asked, "Did you offer the Id prayer with the Prophet?" He said, "Yes, had it not been for my close relation to the Prophet, I would not have performed it (with him) because of my being too young The Prophet ﷺ came to the mark which is near the home of Kathir bin As-Salt and offered the Id prayer and then delivered the sermon. I do not remember if any Adhan or Iqama were pronounced for the prayer. Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered (the women) to give alms, and they started stretching out their hands towards their ears and throats (giving their ornaments in charity), and the Prophet ﷺ ordered Bilal to go to them (to collect the alms), and then Bilal returned to the Prophet.

"I heard 'Abbas when a man said to him: 'Did you go out (to the Eid prayer) with the Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Yes, and were it not for my kinship (position) with him I would not have done so'"-meaning due to him being so young- "He (the Prophet ﷺ) went to the mark near the house of Kathir bin As-Salt and prayed, then delivered a Khutbah. Then he went to the women. He exhorted them and reminded them and told them to give charity. So a woman would bring her hand near her neck and take off her necklace and put it in the garment of Bilal."

He replied, "Yes, and if it were not for my close relationship with him, I would not have witnessed it since I was young. He prayed two units of prayers, then delivered a sermon. After that, he went to the flag at the house of Kathir ibn As-Salt and admonished the women, reminded them, and commanded them to give charity. Then, he leaned towards their ears and necks, and they gave charity with it. He handed it over to Bilal."

He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and prayed two Rak'ahs near the house of Kathir ibn As-Salt, then he delivered a sermon without mentioning the call to prayer or the call to commence the prayer.
