ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ لِلنِّسَاءِ عَنْ إِكْثَارِ اللَّعْنِ، وَإِكْفَارِ الْعَشِيرِ
[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."
