Sahih al-Bukhari 935 (Book 13, Hadith 10)
prayer before delivering the Khutba, Ata told me that during the early days of Ibn Az-Zubair, Ibn
`Abbas had sent a message to him telling him that the Adhan for the `Id Prayer was never pronounced
(in the life time of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)) and the Khutba used to be delivered after the prayer. Ata told me
that Ibn `Abbas and Jabir bin `Abdullah, had said, “There was no Adhan for the prayer of `Id-ul-Fitr
and `Id-ul-Aqha.” `Ata’ said, “I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah saying, ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up and started
with the prayer, and after it he delivered the Khutba. When the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah (p.b.u.h) finished (the
Khutba), he went to the women and preached to them, while he was leaning on Bilal’s hand. Bilal was
spreading his garment and the ladies were putting alms in it.’ ” I said to Ata, “Do you think it
incumbent upon an Imam to go to the women and preach to them after finishing the prayer and
Khutba?” `Ata’ said, “No doubt it is incumbent on Imams to do so, and why should they not do so?”
Sahih al-Bukhari 935 (Book 13, Hadith 10)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
