53. Chapter of Nūn (Female)
٥٣۔ بَابُ النُّونِ
“I fought alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in seven campaigns, looking after their goods, making food for them, tending the wounded and looking after the sick.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2856)
«غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ أَخْلُفُهُمْ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ وَأَصْنَعُ لَهُمُ الطَّعَامَ وَأُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى وَأَقُومُ عَلَى الْمَرِيضِ»
[Machine] Umm 'Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah from Basra came to us and said, "By my father and mother, meaning the Prophet ﷺ , he ordered us to go out on both Eids, the virgins and the menstruating women, to witness the goodness and the supplications of the Muslims."
قَدِمَتْ عَلَيْنَا أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةُ الْبَصْرَةَ فَقَالَتْ بِأَبِي هُوَ وَأُمِّي تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ الْعَوَاتِقَ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ وَالْحُيَّضَ فَأَمَّا الْحُيَّضُ فَيَعْتَزِلْنَ الْمُصَلَّى وَيَشْهَدْنَ الْخَيْرَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to take out our mothers and fathers on the day of Eid al-Fitr and the day of Eid al-Adha, as well as the young girls, the women experiencing their monthly periods, and those in postpartum confinement. She (one of the women present) said, "As for the women experiencing their monthly periods, they should leave the prayer area but witness the goodness and supplications of the Muslims." She (another woman present) said, "So we asked, what if one of them does not have a cloak (to wear)?" He replied, "Then her sister can lend her a cloak from her own." Hisham (the narrator) said, "I heard Muhammad mentioning this from Umm Atiyyah, but I memorized it from the hadith of Hafsah."
أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي أَنْ نُخْرِجَهُنَّ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمَ النَّحْرِ الْعَوَاتِقَ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ وَالْحُيَّضَ قَالَتْ فَأَمَّا الْحُيَّضُ فَيَعْتَزِلْنَ الْمُصَلَّى وَيَشْهَدْنَ الْخَيْرَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَتْ فَقُلْنَا أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ لَا يَكُونُ لَهَا الْجِلْبَابُ؟ قَالَ «تُلْبِسُهَا أُخْتُهَا مِنْ جِلْبَابِهَا» قَالَ هِشَامٌ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَذْكُرُهُ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ وَلَكِنِّي لِحَدِيثِ حَفْصَةَ أَحْفَظُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to go out on the day of Eid to bring out the young unmarried women and those in seclusion, and to also bring out those who are menstruating. As for those who are menstruating, they should abstain from prayer, but they should witness the goodness and supplications of the Muslims. A woman asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about if one of us does not have a Jilbab (outer garment)?" He replied, "She should borrow her sister's Jilbab."
أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُخْرِجَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ الْعَوَاتِقَ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ وَالْحُيَّضَ فَأَمَّا الْحُيَّضُ فَيَعْتَزِلْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيَشْهَدْنَ الْخَيْرَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا لَيْسَ لَهَا جِلْبَابٌ؟ قَالَ «تُلْبِسُهَا أُخْتُهَا جِلْبَابَهَا»
We were commanded to go out as well as the hidden away ladies and those unmarried. She said menstruating women were to come out amongst you, but remain behind people and pronounce takbir (Allah-o-Akbar) along with them. (Using translation from Muslim 890b)
«كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ بِالْخُرُوجِ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ وَالْمُحَيَّاةُ وَالْبِكْرُ قَالَتْ وَالْحُيَّضُ يَخْرُجْنَ فَيَكُنَّ خَلْفَ النَّاسِ يُكَبِّرْنَ مَعَ النَّاسِ»
[Machine] I heard this from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , regarding women who do not have a jilbab (outer garment): Do they witness the celebration? She said: Yes, by my father. Whenever she spoke about the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , she would say: By my father, I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "Allow the unmarried women and those who menstruate to attend the Eid prayer and the supplication of the Muslims, but let them stay away from the prayer area."
سَمِعْتِ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي فِي الْمَرْأَةِ لَا يَكُونُ لَهَا جِلْبَابٌ هَلْ تَشَهْدُ الْعِيدَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ بِأَبِي وَكَانَتْ إِذَا حَدَّثَتْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ بِأَبِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَخْرِجُوا الْعَوَاتِقَ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ فَلْيَشْهَدْنَ الْعِيدَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَيَعْتَزِلْنَ الْحُيَّضُ مُصَلًّى الْمُسْلِمِينَ»
