Ibn 'Abbas reported: I participated in the Fitr prayer with the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman, and all of them observed this prayer before the Khutbah, and then he (the Holy Prophet) delivered the sermon. Then the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) descended (from the pulpit) and I (perceive) as if I am seeing him as he is commanding people with his hand to sit down. He then made his way through their (assembly) till he came to the women. Bilal (RA) was with him. He then recited (this verse): O Prophet, when believing women come to thee giving thee a pledge that they will not associate aught with Allah" (lx. 12) till he finished (his address to) them and then said: Do you conform to it (what has been described in the verse)? Only one woman among them replied: Yes, Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , but none else replied. He (the narrator) said: It could not be ascertained who actually she was. He (the Holy Prophet) exhorted them to give alms. Bilal (RA) stretched his cloth and then said: Come forward with alms. Let my father and mother be taken as ransom for you. And they began to throw rings and ringlets in the cloth of Bilal (RA) .

Ibn 'Abbas reported: I bear testimony to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) offering prayer before Kbutba. He (after saying prayer) delivered the Kutba, and he found that the women could not hear it, so he came to them and exhorted them and preached them and commanded them to give alms, and Bilal (RA) had stretched his cloth and the women were throwing rings, earrings and other things.

Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) went out on the day of Adha or Fitr and observed two rak'ahs, and did not observe prayer (at that place) before and after that. He then came to the women along with Bilal (RA) and commanded them to give alms and the women began to give their rings and necklaces.
