978. Narrated Ibn Juraij: 'Aṭā told me that he had heard Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنهما saying, "The Prophet ﷺ stood up to offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) of 'Eid-al-Fiṭr. He first offered the Ṣalāt (prayer) and then delivered the Khutba (religious talk). After finishing it he got down (from the pulpit) and went towards the women and advised them while he was leaning on Bilāl's hand. Bilāl was spreading out his garment while the women were putting their alms." I asked 'Aṭā whether it was the Zakāt of the day of Fiṭr. 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 'Aṭā), "Do you think that it is incumbent upon the Imām to give advice to the women (on 'Eid day)?" He said, "No doubt, it is incumbent upon the Imām to do so and why should they not do so?"
