Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out while Bilal was accompanying him. He went towards the women thinking that they had not heard him (i.e. his sermon). So he preached them and ordered them to pay alms. (Hearing that) the women started giving alms; some donated their ear-rings, some gave their rings and Bilal was collecting them in the corner of his garment.  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْقُرْطَ وَالْخَاتَمَ وَبِلاَلٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي طَرَفِ ثَوْبِهِ وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَقَالَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of ʿId-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَضْحًى أَوْ فِطْرٍ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَمَرَّ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ، تَصَدَّقْنَ! فَإِنِّي أُرِيتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ۔» فَقُلْنَ: وَبِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ۔ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ لِلُبِّ الرَّجُلِ الْحَازِمِ مِنْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ۔» قُلْنَ: وَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَعَقْلِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلَ نِصْفِ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ؟» قُلْنَ: بَلَى۔ قَالَ: «فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عَقْلِهَا۔ أَلَيْسَ إِذَا حَاضَتْ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ؟» قُلْنَ: بَلَى۔ قَالَ: «فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ دِينِهَا۔»  

The Prophet ﷺ offered a two rakʿat prayer on the Day of Id ul Fitr and he did not pray before or after it. Then he went towards women along with Bilal and ordered them to pay alms and so they started giving their earrings and necklaces (in charity).  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْنَ يُلْقِينَ تُلْقِي الْمَرْأَةُ خُرْصَهَا وَسِخَابَهَا  

ʿAta' told me that he had heard Jabir bin ʿAbdullah saying, "The Prophet ﷺ stood up to offer the prayer of the ʿId 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 ʿAta' whether it was the Zakat of ʿId 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 ʿAta'), "Do you think that it is incumbent upon the Imam to give advice to the women (on ʿId day)?" He said, "No doubt, it is incumbent upon the Imams to do so and why should they not do so?"  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَصَلَّى فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ نَزَلَ فَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَهْوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى يَدِ بِلاَلٍ وَبِلاَلٌ بَاسِطٌ ثَوْبَهُ يُلْقِي فِيهِ النِّسَاءُ الصَّدَقَةَ قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ زَكَاةَ يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ صَدَقَةً يَتَصَدَّقْنَ حِينَئِذٍ تُلْقِي فَتَخَهَا وَيُلْقِينَ قُلْتُ أَتُرَى حَقًّا عَلَى الإِمَامِ ذَلِكَ وَيُذَكِّرُهُنَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا لَهُمْ لاَ يَفْعَلُونَهُ  

A person asked Ibn ʿAbbas, "Have you ever presented yourself at the (ʿId) prayer with Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "Yes." And had it not been for my kinship (position) with the Prophet ﷺ it would not have been possible for me to do so (for he was too young). The Prophet ﷺ went to the mark near the house of Kathir bin As-Salt and delivered a sermon. He then went towards the women. He advised and reminded them and asked them to give alms. So the woman would bring her hand near her neck and take off her necklace and put it in the garment of Bilal. Then the Prophet ﷺ and Bilal came to the house."  

لَهُ رَجُلٌ شَهِدْتَ الْخُرُوجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَوْلاَ مَكَانِي مِنْهُ مَا شَهِدْتُهُ يَعْنِي مِنْ صِغَرِهِ أَتَى الْعَلَمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ دَارِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُهْوِي بِيَدِهَا إِلَى حَلْقِهَا تُلْقِي فِي ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ ثُمَّ أَتَى هُوَ وَبِلاَلٌ الْبَيْتَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُرِيتُ النَّارَ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءُ يَكْفُرْنَ قِيلَ أَيَكْفُرْنَ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ يَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ وَيَكْفُرْنَ الإِحْسَانَ لَوْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَى إِحْدَاهُنَّ الدَّهْرَ ثُمَّ رَأَتْ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ  

The Prophet ﷺ went out for the ʿId prayer on the ʿId day and offered a two rakʿat prayer; and he neither offered a prayer before it or after it. Then he went towards the women along with Bilal. He preached them and ordered them to give in charity. And some (amongst the women) started giving their forearm bangles and earrings.  

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلُ وَلاَ بَعْدُ ثُمَّ مَالَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْقُلْبَ وَالْخُرْصَ  

I am a witness that Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the Id prayer before delivering the sermon and then he thought that the women would not be able to hear him (because of the distance), so he went to them along with Bilal who was spreading his garment. The Prophet ﷺ advised and ordered them to give in charity. So the women started giving their ornaments (in charity). (The sub-narrator Aiyub pointed towards his ears and neck meaning that they gave ornaments from those places such as earrings and necklaces.)  

ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَصَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ نَاشِرَ ثَوْبِهِ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي وَأَشَارَ أَيُّوبُ إِلَى أُذُنِهِ وَإِلَى حَلْقِهِ  

I bear testimony to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering prayer before Kbutba. He (after saying prayer) delivered the Kutba, and he found that the women could not hear it, so he came to them and exhorted them and preached them and commanded them to give alms, and Bilal had stretched his cloth and the women were throwing rings, earrings and other things. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ayyub with the same chain of transmitters.  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَصَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَبِلاَلٌ قَائِلٌ بِثَوْبِهِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْخَاتَمَ وَالْخُرْصَ وَالشَّىْءَ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ  

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ stood up on the day of 'Id al-Fitr and observed prayer. And he commenced the prayer before the sermon. He then delivered the sermon. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished (the sermon) he came down from (the pulpit), and made his way to the women and exhorted them (to do good acts), and he was leaning on the hand of Bilal. Bilal had stretched his cloth in which women were throwing alms. I (one of the narrators) said to 'Ata' (the other narrator): It must be Zakat on the day of Fitr. He ('Ata') said: No. It was alms (which) they were giving on that occasion, and a woman gave her ring, and then others gave, and then others gave. I said to 'Ata': Is It right now for the Imam to come to the women when he has finished (his address to the men) that he should exhort them (to good deeds)? He said: (Why not) by my life, it is right for them (to do so). What is the matter with them that they do not do it now?  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَامَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَصَلَّى فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ وَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَهُوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى يَدِ بِلاَلٍ وَبِلاَلٌ بَاسِطٌ ثَوْبَهُ يُلْقِينَ النِّسَاءُ صَدَقَةً قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ زَكَاةَ يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ صَدَقَةً يَتَصَدَّقْنَ بِهَا حِينَئِذٍ تُلْقِي الْمَرْأَةُ فَتَخَهَا وَيُلْقِينَ وَيُلْقِينَ قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ أَحَقًّا عَلَى الإِمَامِ الآنَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ النِّسَاءَ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ فَيُذَكِّرَهُنَّ قَالَ إِي لَعَمْرِي إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَحَقٌّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا لَهُمْ لاَ يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ  

I observed prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the 'Id day. He commenced with prayer before the sermon without Adhan and Iqama. He then stood up leaning on Bilal, and he commanded (them) to be on guard (against evil for the sake of) Allah, and he exhorted (them) on obedience to Him, and he preached to the people and admonished them. He then walked on till he came to the women and preached to them and admonished them, and asked them to give alms, for most of them are the fuel for Hell. A woman having a dark spot on the cheek stood up and said: Why is it so, Messenger of Allah? He said: For you grumble often and show ingratitude to your spouse. And then they began to give alms out of their ornaments such as their earrings and rings which they threw on to the cloth of Bilal.  

شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى بِلاَلٍ فَأَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَحَثَّ عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ وَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَذَكَّرَهُمْ ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَكَّرَهُنَّ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ فَقَامَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ سِطَةِ النِّسَاءِ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ فَقَالَتْ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ الشَّكَاةَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ قَالَ فَجَعَلْنَ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِنَّ يُلْقِينَ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ مِنْ أَقْرِطَتِهِنَّ وَخَوَاتِمِهِنَّ  

Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out on the day of Adha or Fitr and observed two rak'ahs, and did not observe prayer (at that place) before and after that. He then came to the women along with Bilal and commanded them to give alms and the women began to give their rings and necklaces. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ أَضْحَى أَوْ فِطْرٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي خُرْصَهَا وَتُلْقِي سِخَابَهَا وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ غُنْدَرٍ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ  

"I attended the prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of 'Eid. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, with no Adhan and no Iqamah. When he finished the prayer, he stood leaning on Bilal, and he praised and glorified Allah (SWT) and exhorted the people, reminding them and urging them to obey Allah (SWT). Then he moved away and went to the women, and Bilal was with him. He commanded them to fear Allah (SWT) and exhorted them and reminded them. He praised and glorified Allah, then he urged them to obey Allah, then he said: 'Give charity, for most of you are the fuel of Hell.' A lowly woman with dark cheeks said: 'Why, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'You complain a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands.' They started taking off their necklaces, earrings and rings, throwing them into Bilal's garment, giving them in charity."  

شَهِدْتُ الصَّلاَةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلاَ إِقَامَةٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ قَامَ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى بِلاَلٍ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَذَكَّرَهُمْ وَحَثَّهُمْ عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ ثُمَّ مَالَ وَمَضَى إِلَى النِّسَاءِ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ حَثَّهُنَّ عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ سَفِلَةِ النِّسَاءِ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ بِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ تُكْثِرْنَ الشَّكَاةَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ فَجَعَلْنَ يَنْزِعْنَ قَلاَئِدَهُنَّ وَأَقْرُطَهُنَّ وَخَوَاتِيمَهُنَّ يَقْذِفْنَهُ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ بِهِ  

"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."  

لَهُ رَجُلٌ شَهِدْتَ الْخُرُوجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَوْلاَ مَكَانِي مِنْهُ مَا شَهِدْتُهُ يَعْنِي مِنْ صِغَرِهِ أَتَى الْعَلَمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ دَارِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُهْوِي بِيَدِهَا إِلَى حَلَقِهَا تُلْقِي فِي ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ  

I did not see more defective in respect of reason and religion than the wise of you (women). A woman asked: What is the defect of reason and religion ? He replied: The defect of reason is the testimony of two women for one man, and the defect of faith is that one of you does not fast during Ramadan (when one is menstruating), and keep away from prayer for some days.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَلاَ دِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِذِي لُبٍّ مِنْكُنَّ قَالَتْ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ قَالَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ فَشَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ شَهَادَةُ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَّا نُقْصَانُ الدِّينِ فَإِنَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تُفْطِرُ رَمَضَانَ وَتُقِيمُ أَيَّامًا لاَ تُصَلِّي  

The Prophet ﷺ stood on the day of the breaking of the fast ('Id) and offered prayer. He began the prayer before the sermon. He then addressed the people. When the Prophet ﷺ finished the sermon, he descended (from the pulpit) and went to women. He gave them an exhortation while he was leaning on the hand of Bilal. Bilal was spreading his garment in which women were putting alms; some women put their rings and others other things.  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَامَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَصَلَّى فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ فَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَهُوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى يَدِ بِلاَلٍ وَبِلاَلٌ بَاسِطٌ ثَوْبَهُ تُلْقِي فِيهِ النِّسَاءُ الصَّدَقَةَ قَالَ تُلْقِي الْمَرْأَةُ فَتَخَهَا وَيُلْقِينَ وَيُلْقِينَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ فَتَخَتَهَا  

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).  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَشَهِدَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ قَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَكْبَرُ عِلْمِ شُعْبَةَ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْنَ يُلْقِينَ  

He (the Prophet) thought that women could not hear (his sermon). So he went to them and Bilal was in his company. He gave them exhortation and commanded them to give alms. Some women put their ear-rings and other their rings in the garment of Bilal.  

يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَمَشَى إِلَيْهِنَّ وَبِلاَلٌ مَعَهُ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْقُرْطَ وَالْخَاتَمَ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ  

The women began to give their ear-rings and rings in alms. Bilal began to collect them in his garment. He (the Prophet) then distributed them among the poor Muslims.  

فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُعْطِي الْقُرْطَ وَالْخَاتَمَ وَجَعَلَ بِلاَلٌ يَجْعَلُهُ فِي كِسَائِهِ قَالَ فَقَسَمَهُ عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out on the day of the breaking of the fast and prayed two rak'ahs, before and after which he did not pray. He then went to women, taking Bilal with him, and commanded them to given alms. So one began to put her ear-ring and another her necklace (in the garment of Bilal).  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهُمَا وَلاَ بَعْدَهُمَا ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي خُرْصَهَا وَسِخَابَهَا  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a Khtubah in which he exhorted them, then he said: "O women! Give charity for you are the majority of the people of the Fire." A woman among them said: "And why is that O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Because of your cursing so much." - meaning your ungratefulness towards your husbands. He said: "And I have not seen any among those lacking in intellect and religion who are more difficult upon people possessing reason and insight than you." A woman among them said: "And what is the deficiency of her intellect and religion?" He said: "The testimony of two women among you is like the testimony of a man, and the deficiency in your religion is menstruation, because one of you will go three or four days without performing Salat."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَوَعَظَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِكَثْرَةِ لَعْنِكُنَّ يَعْنِي وَكُفْرَكُنَّ الْعَشِيرَ قَالَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِذَوِي الأَلْبَابِ وَذَوِي الرَّأْىِ مِنْكُنَّ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِهَا وَعَقْلِهَا قَالَ شَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مِنْكُنَّ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلٍ وَنُقْصَانُ دِينِكُنَّ الْحَيْضَةُ تَمْكُثُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ الثَّلاَثَ وَالأَرْبَعَ لاَ تُصَلِّي  

“I heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: ‘I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed before the sermon, then he delivered the sermon. And he thought that the women had not heard, so he went over to them and reminded them (of Allah) and preached to them and enjoined them to give in charity, and Bilal was spreading his hands like this, and the women started giving their earrings, rings and things.’”  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَبِلاَلٌ قَائِلٌ بِيَدَيْهِ هَكَذَا فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْخُرْصَ وَالْخَاتَمَ وَالشَّىْءَ  

“O women, give in charity and pray a great deal for forgiveness, for I have seen that you form the majority of the people of Hell.” A woman who was very wise said: “Why is it, O Messenger of Allah, that we form the majority of the people of Hell?” He said: “You curse a great deal and you are ungrateful to your husbands, and I have never seen anyone lacking in discernment and religion more overwhelming to a man of wisdom than you.” She said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is this lacking in discernment and religion?” He said: “The lack of discernment is the fact that the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man; this is the lack of reason. And (a woman) spends several nights when she does not pray, and she does not fast in Ramadhan, and this is the lack in religion.”  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَأَكْثِرْنَ مِنَ الاِسْتِغْفَارِ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ جَزْلَةٌ وَمَا لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالَ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِذِي لُبٍّ مِنْكُنَّ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ قَالَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ فَشَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَعْدِلُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ فَهَذَا مِنْ نُقْصَانِ الْعَقْلِ وَتَمْكُثُ اللَّيَالِيَ مَا تُصَلِّي وَتُفْطِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَهَذَا مِنْ نُقْصَانِ الدِّينِ  

The Prophet ﷺ stood on the day of the breaking of the fast ('Id) and offered prayer. He began the prayer before the sermon. He then addressed the people. When the Prophet ﷺ finished the sermon, he descended (from the pulpit) and went to women. He gave them an exhortation while he was leaning on the hand of Bilal. Bilal was spreading his garment in which women were putting alms; some women put their rings and others other things. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1141)  

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَامَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ فَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَهُوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى يَدِ بِلَالٍ وَبِلَالٌ بَاسِطٌ ثَوْبَهُ يُلْقِينَ فِيهِ النِّسَاءُ صَدَقَةً قَالَ تُلْقِي الْمَرْأَةُ فَتْخَهَا وَيُلْقِينَ وَيُلْقِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ فَتْخَتَهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer on the two Eid days without adhan and iqamah, then he delivered a sermon. After that, he went towards the women, accompanied by Bilal who was the only one with him. He instructed them to give charity, so the woman would throw her earrings and rings to Bilal.  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ خَطَبَنَا ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَمَشَى إِلَىالنِّسَاءِ وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ غَيْرُهُ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي تُومَتَهَا وَخَاتَمَهَا إِلَى بِلَالٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ began praying before the sermon on the two Eids without the call to prayer or the call to establish prayer. He then addressed the men while leaning on a bow. He then went to the women and addressed them, urging them to give charity. He said that they began to throw their bracelets, rings, and jewelry to Bilal. He said the Prophet did not pray before or after the prayer.  

بَدَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ الرِّجَالَ وَهُوَ مُتَوَكِّئٌ عَلَى قَوْسٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَخَطَبَهُنَّ وَحَثَّهُنَّ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ فَجَعَلْنَ يَطْرَحْنَ الْقِرَطَةَ وَالْخَوَاتِيمَ وَالْحُلِيَّ إِلَى بِلَالٍ قَالَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ وَلَا بَعْدَهَا  

"I attended the prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of 'Eid. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, with no Adhan and no Iqamah. When he finished the prayer, he stood leaning on Bilal, and he praised and glorified Allah (SWT) and exhorted the people, reminding them and urging them to obey Allah (SWT). Then he moved away and went to the women, and Bilal was with him. He commanded them to fear Allah (SWT) and exhorted them and reminded them. He praised and glorified Allah, then he urged them to obey Allah, then he said: 'Give charity, for most of you are the fuel of Hell.' A lowly woman with dark cheeks said: 'Why, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'You complain a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands.' They started taking off their necklaces, earrings and rings, throwing them into Bilal's garment, giving them in charity." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1575)  

شَهِدْتُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَامَ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى بِلَالٍ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَذَكَّرَهُمْ وَحَثَّهُمْ عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى النِّسَاءِ وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَحَثَّهُنَّ عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ سَفَلَةِ النِّسَاءِ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ الشَّكَاةَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ فَجَعَلْنَ يَنْزِعْنَ حُلِيَّهُنَّ وَقَلَائِدَهُنَّ وَقِرَطَتَهُنَّ وَخَوَاتِيمَهُنَّ يَقْذِفْنَ بِهِ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ بِهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ gave us a speech and said, "Give in charity, O women, for you will be the majority of the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Resurrection." Then a woman who was not from the prominent families of women stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, why are we the majority of the inhabitants of Hell?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Because you curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands."  

خَطَبَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَ نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ؟ قَالَ لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O women, give charity even from your ornaments, for indeed you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hellfire on the Day of Resurrection." A woman from the audience who was not from the elite of women stood up and asked, "Why are we the majority of the inhabitants of Hellfire on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Because you curse frequently and you show ingratitude towards your husbands."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَتْ بِمَ نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُأَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out on the day of the breaking of the fast and prayed two rak'ahs, before and after which he did not pray. He then went to women, taking Bilal with him, and commanded them to given alms. So one began to put her ear-ring and another her necklace (in the garment of Bilal). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1159)   

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي فِطْرٍ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلا بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلالٌ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي خُرْصَهَا وَسِخَابَهَا  

[Machine] "He witnessed regarding Ibn Abbas and Ibn Abbas witnessed regarding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he prayed on the day of Eid, then delivered a sermon, then came to the women and commanded them to give charity, so they began throwing it."  

أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ شَهِدَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْنَ يُلْقِينَ  

[Machine] I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ praying on the day of Eid, and then he delivered a sermon. He thought that the women did not hear him, so he called for them and advised them, saying: "Give in charity." So a woman started throwing her ring, bracelet, and belongings. Then he ordered Bilal to collect them in a cloth until he finished.  

شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْخَاتَمَ وَالْخُرْصَ وَالشَّيْءَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِلالًا فَجَمَعَهُ فِي ثَوْبٍ حَتَّى أَمْضَاهُ  

“I heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: ‘I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed before the sermon, then he delivered the sermon. And he thought that the women had not heard, so he went over to them and reminded them (of Allah) and preached to them and enjoined them to give in charity, and Bilal was spreading his hands like this, and the women started giving their earrings, rings and things.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1273)   

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ فِي الْعِيدِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَرَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْخُرْصَ وَالْخَاتَمَ وَالشَّيْءَ  

[Machine] I testify that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed before the sermon and then delivered the sermon. It seems that he did not hear the women, so he went to them with Bilal, spreading his robe, and advised them and commanded them to give charity. The woman then started throwing jewelry, and Ayoub pointed to his ear and his neck as if he wanted a ring or necklace.  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَيَرَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَأَتَاهُنَّ وَمَعَهُ بِلالٌ نَاشِرًا ثَوْبَهُ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي وَأَشَارَ أَيُّوبُ إِلَى أُذُنِهِ وَإِلَى حَلْقِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ التُّومَةَ وَالْقِلادَةَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out on the day of the breaking of the fast and prayed two rak'ahs, before and after which he did not pray. He then went to women, taking Bilal with him, and commanded them to given alms. So one began to put her ear-ring and another her necklace (in the garment of Bilal). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1159)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ أَضْحَى أَوْ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ قَالَ وَأَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهُمَا وَلَا بَعْدَهُمَا ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي خُرْصَهَا وَسِخَابَهَا وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ بَهْزٌ قَالَ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ وَقَالَ صِخَابَهَا  

“O women, give in charity and pray a great deal for forgiveness, for I have seen that you form the majority of the people of Hell.” A woman who was very wise said: “Why is it, O Messenger of Allah, that we form the majority of the people of Hell?” He said: “You curse a great deal and you are ungrateful to your husbands, and I have never seen anyone lacking in discernment and religion more overwhelming to a man of wisdom than you.” She said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is lacking in our discernment and our religion?” He said: “As for the lack of discernment it is the fact that the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man; this is the lack of discernment; and that you spend several nights when you do not pray nor fast in Ramaḍān, and this is the lack in religion.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَأَكْثِرْنَ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لِكَثْرَةِ اللَّعْنِ وَكُفْرِ الْعَشِيرِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِذِي لُبٍّ مِنْكُنَّ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ فَشَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَعْدِلُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ فَهَذَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَتَمْكُثُ اللَّيَالِيَ لَا تُصَلِّي وَتُفْطِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَهَذَا نُقْصَانُ الدِّينِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O women, give charity, even if it is from your jewelry, for indeed you are the majority of the inhabitants of the Fire." So a woman who was not from the upper class of women stood up and asked: "Why do you say so, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "Because you women are excessive in cursing and ungrateful to your husbands."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَتْ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ : "O women, give charity, for you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman asked: "Why are we the majority of the inhabitants of Hell?" He replied: "Because you curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَمَا لَنَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said to the women, "Give in charity, for you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman who was not from the noblest or wisest among them asked, "O Messenger of Allah, why is that? What is the reason?" He replied, "Verily, you [women] curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لِلنِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ أَوْ مِنْ أَعْقَلِهِنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَ؟ أَوْ لِمَ؟ أَوْ بِمَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ  

[Machine] I witnessed praying with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Eid. He began praying before giving the sermon, then stood leaning on Bilal until he reached the women. He gave them a sermon, reminded them, and commanded them to fear Allah. He said, "Give charity." Then he mentioned something about the matter of Hellfire, and a woman from the lower class of women stood up, her face reddened. She said, "Why, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Because you women spread gossip and curse, and you deny kinship." Then they began taking off their jewelry and earrings and throwing them in the garment of Bilal, giving it as charity.  

شَهِدْتُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ قَامَ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى بِلَالٍ حَتَّى أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْنَ» فَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ سَفِلَةِ النِّسَاءِ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ فَقَالَتْ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُفْشِينَ الشَّكَاةَ وَاللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ» فَجَعَلْنَ يَأْخُذْنَ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِنَّ وَأَقْرَاطِهِنَّ وَخَوَاتِيمِهِنَّ يَطْرَحْنَهُ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ بِهِ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said to the women, "Give in charity, for you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." So a woman who was not from the elite women asked, "Why? For what reason or with what?" He said, "Because you frequently curse and are ungrateful to your husbands."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لِلنِّسَاءِ «تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ لِمَ أَوْ بِمَ أَوْ فِيمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O women, give charity even from your adornments, for you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman who was not from the elite of women asked, "Why are we the majority of the inhabitants of Hell, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Because you curse frequently and show ingratitude to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ وَبِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ؟ قَالَ «لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِلُبِّ الرَّجُلِ مِنْكُنَّ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O women, give in charity, even from your jewelry, for indeed you comprise the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman who was not among the elite women asked, "Why are we the majority of the inhabitants of Hell, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Because you curse frequently and show ingratitude towards your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religious commitment than you. A wise man could be led astray by some of you." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the deficiency in our intelligence and religious commitment?" He said, "As for the deficiency in intelligence, the testimony of two women is equal to that of one man. As for the deficiency in religious commitment, one of you may stay without praying for many days and nights, not prostrating to Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ وَبِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ وَمَا وُجِدَ مِنْ نَاقِصِ الدِّينِ وَالرَّأْيِ أَغْلَبَ لِلرِّجَالِ ذَوِي الْأَمْرِ عَلَى أُمُورِهِمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ» قَالُوا وَمَا نَقْصُ دِينِهِنَّ وَرَأْيِهِنَّ؟ قَالَ «أَمَّا نَقْصُ رَأْيِهِنَّ فَجُعِلَتْ شَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَّا نَقْصُ دِينِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ إِحْدَاهُنَّ تَقْعُدُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ لَا تَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً»  

[Machine] "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. Or Ata' said, 'I bear witness that Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophetﷺ went out on the day of Eid with his companions, performed prayer, then gave a sermon. He then came to the women and commanded them to give charity, and they began to throw it.'"  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «خَرَجَ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْنَ يُلْقِينَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ once gave a sermon to women and advised them to fear Allah and obey their husbands. He said, "Among you, some will enter Paradise while joining their fingers, and others will enter Hell while separating their fingers." The women asked, "O Messenger of Allah, why is that?" He replied, "You curse frequently, and you are ungrateful and show ingratitude for the good done to you."  

خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ النِّسَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالطَّاعَةِ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْكُنَّ مَنْ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ وَمِنْكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ » فَقَالَتِ الْمَارِدَةُ أَوِ الْمُرَادِيَّةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلِمَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «تَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ وَتُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتُسَوِّفْنَ الْخَيْرَ» *  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas witnessed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed on the day of Eid, then delivered a sermon, and then went to the women and commanded them to give charity.  

«أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ شَهِدَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, it is narrated that he said to the women, "Give charity, for indeed you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman who was not from a high-class background asked, "Why is that so, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands." Abdullah said, "The deficiency in intelligence and religion is most prevalent among men who have authority over their women." It was asked, "And what is the deficiency in her intelligence and religion?" He said, "As for the deficiency in her intelligence, the testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man. And as for the deficiency in her religion, it is that on some days, she does not offer a single prayer."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنِّسَاءِ «تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ بِمَ أَوْ لِمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ الْعَقْلِ وَالدَّيْنِ أَغْلَبُ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ ذَوِي الْأَمْرِ عَلَى أَمْرِهِمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قِيلَ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ عَقْلِهَا وَدِينِهَا؟ قَالَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ عَقْلِهَا فَإِنَّ شَهَادَةَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَّا نُقْصَانُ دِينِهَا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَى إِحْدَاهِنَّ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ لَا تُصَلِّي فِيهِ صَلَاةً وَاحِدَةً»  

[Machine] I went, along with Al-Hasan, Al-Husayn, and Usama ibn Zaid, on the day of Eid. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also went to the prayer place and prayed with us. Then he delivered a sermon and said, "O people, this is a day of charity, so give in charity." A man started taking off his ring, and another man started taking off his garment. Bilal held on to them, waiting until he didn't see anyone giving anything. Then Bilal approached the women and said, "O women, this is a day of charity, so give in charity." So the women started taking off their bracelets and rings. Bilal held on to them, waiting again until he didn't see anyone giving anything. Then Bilal approached and we all moved forward.  

خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَالْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ يَوْمَ فِطْرٍ وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَصَلَّى بِنَا ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ صَدَقَةٍ فَتَصَدَّقُوا» قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْزِعُ خَاتَمَهُ وَالرَّجُلُ يَنْزِعُ ثَوْبَهُ وَبِلَالٌ يَقْبِضُ حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَرَ أَحَدًا يُعْطِي شَيْئًا تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ صَدَقَةٍ فَتَصَدَّقْنَ» فَجَعَلْتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَنْزِعُ خُرْصَهَا وَخَاتَمَهَا وَجَعَلْتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَنْزِعُ خُلْخَالَهَا وَبِلَالٌ يَقْبِضُ حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَرَ أَحَدًا يُعْطِي شَيْئًا أَقْبَلَ بِلَالٌ وَأَقْبَلْنَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out on the day of Aḍḥa or ʿĪd to the prayer ground and performed the prayer, then he left and stood up to address the people and commanded them with charity. He said, "O people, give charity." Then he left and passed by the women and said, "O group of women, give charity, for I have seen that you are the majority of the people of Hellfire." They asked, "Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religious commitment than you. A cautious wise man may be led astray by some of you." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is deficient in our intelligence and religious commitment?" He said, "Is not the testimony of a woman equivalent to half of that of a man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is due to the deficiency in her intelligence. Is it not true that when a woman menstruates, she does not pray nor fast?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is due to the deficiency in her religion." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left and when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud sought permission to see him. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, here is Zainab seeking permission to see you." He asked, "Which Zainab?" They replied, "The wife of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud." He said, "Grant her permission." So they allowed her to enter and she said, "O Prophet of Allah, you commanded us today to give charity and I had adornments with me that I wanted to give in charity. However, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and his children claim that they have more right to receive my charity." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give charity to Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and his children."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَضْحًى أَوْ فِطْرٍ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَامَ فَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَصَدَّقُوا» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَمَرَّ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» فَقُلْنَ وَلِمَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ لِلُبِّ الرَّجُلِ الْحَازِمِ مِنْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ» فَقُلْنَ لَهُ مَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَعَقْلِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلَ نِصْفِ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ»؟ قُلْنَ بَلَى قَالَ «فَذَاكَ نُقْصَانُ عَقْلِهَا أَوَ لَيْسَتْ إِذَا حَاضَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ»؟ قُلْنَ بَلَى قَالَ «فَذَاكَ نُقْصَانُ دِينِهَا» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا صَارَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ جَاءَتْ زَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ زَيْنَبُ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ «أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ»؟ قِيلَ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ «نَعَمْ ائْذَنُوا لَهَا» فَأُذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَكَانَ عِنْدِي حُلِيٌّ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ فَزَعَمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّهُ وَوَلَدَهُ أَحَقُّ مَنْ تَصَدَّقَتْ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «صَدَقَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the women to give charity and encouraged them to do so. He said, "Give charity, for indeed you (women) are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman among them asked, "Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Because you (women) curse often, are ungrateful for kindness, and deny the good treatment of your husbands."  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النِّسَاءَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَحَثَّهُنَّ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ بِمَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتُسَوِّفْنَ الْخَيْرَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ once addressed women and gave them a sermon, commanding them to fear Allah and obey their husbands. He said, "Certainly, among you are those who will enter Paradise, joining their fingers together, and among you are those who will be fuel for Hell, separating their fingers." The women of Maridiya or Muradiya asked, "Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "You belittle your husbands, curse frequently, and are ungrateful for goodness."  

خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ النِّسَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالطَّاعَةِ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْكُنَّ مَنْ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ وَمِنْكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ» فَقَالَتِ الْمَارِدِيَّةُ أَوِ الْمُرَادِيَّةُ وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «تَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ وَتُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتُسَوِّفْنَ الْخَيْرَ»
