4895. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا I witnessed the 'Eid-ul-Fitr Salāt (prayer) with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, Abū Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthmān; and all of them offered Salāt (prayer) before delivering the Khutba (religious talk), (i.e. they prayed first) and then delivered the Khutba. Once, the Prophet ﷺ, [after completing the Salāt (prayer) and the Khutba] came down — as if I am now looking at him waving at the men with his hand to sit down — and walked through them till he, along with Bilāl, reached (the rows of) the women. Then he recited: "O Prophet! When believing women come to you to give you the Bai'a (pledge), that they will not associate anything in worship with Allāh, that they will not steal, that they will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, that they will not kill their children, and that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood (by making illegal children belonging to their husbands) and that they will not disobey you in Ma'ruf (Islamic Monotheism and all that which Islam ordains), then accept Bai'a (pledge),..." (V.60:12) Having finished, he said, "Do you agree to that?" One lady, other than whom none replied the Prophet ﷺ, said, "Yes, O Allāh's Messenger!" (The subnarrator, Al-Ḥasan did not know who the lady was). Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them: "Will you give in charity?" Thereupon Bilāl spread out his garment and the women started throwing big rings and small rings into Bilāl's garment. [See Vol. 2, Hadīth No.979] (61) SŪRAT AṢ-SAFF(The Row or the Ranks) In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful.
