51. Companionship of Women
٥١۔ كِتَابُ عِشْرَةِ النِّسَاءِ
"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 رَسُولِ اللهِ 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 وَذَكَرَّهُنَّ وَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ حَثَّهُنَّ عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ سَفِلَةِ النِّسَاءِ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ فَجَعَلْنَ يَنْزِعْنَ حُلِيَّهُنَّ قَلَائِدَهُنَّ وَأَقْرِطَتَهُنَّ وَخَوَاتِيمَهُنَّ يَقْذِفْنَهُ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ يَتَصَدَّقْنَ بِهِ»
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "Women should give in charity, for you (women) are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman asked, "O Messenger of Allah, why is that? In what way? Or for what reason?" He replied, "Because you (women) often curse excessively and are ungrateful to your husbands."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لِلنِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيمَ؟ أَوْ لِمَ؟ أَوْ بِمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O women, give charity even if it is from your adornments, for indeed you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." A woman not belonging to the noblest of women asked, "Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Because you curse frequently and are ungrateful to your spouses."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَصَدَّقْنَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ» وَلِمَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «لِأَنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ»
[Machine] Abdullah said, "Be generous, O women, towards him." And he did not elevate him.
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «تَصَدَّقْنَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ نَحْوَهُ» وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "I looked at Paradise and found poor people forming the majority of its inhabitants; and I looked at Hell and saw that the majority of its inhabitants were women." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3241)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اطَّلَعْتُ فِي النَّارِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءَ وَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ»
