The reciter: And Ishaq ibn Ibrahim and Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to us. Ibn Rafi' said: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, saying: Ibn Jurayj informed us, saying: Ata' informed me from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: I heard him say: Sahih Muslim 885a
The Shaykh : But we qualify this with what has come before: if he sees that he did not make them hear it, [he should go]. As for if he sees that he made them hear it, there is no need, except if there are reasons he thinks the women need, such as asking questions or the like. In that case, he goes to them for this purpose.
And in Ata's saying, "Yes, by my life," there is evidence for the permissibility of swearing by that. This has passed us by, and it is found in the speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the speech of Ibn Abbas and others, and there is no harm in it. This is not from the category of swearing by other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) stood up on the day of 'Id al-Fitr and observed prayer. And he commenced the prayer before the sermon. He then delivered the sermon. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had finished (the sermon) he came down from (the pulpit), and made his way to the women and exhorted them (to do good acts), and he was leaning on the hand of Bilal. Bilal had stretched his cloth in which women were throwing alms. I (one of the narrators) said to 'Ata' (the other narrator): It must be Zakat on the day of Fitr. He ('Ata') said: No. It was alms (which) they were giving on that occasion, and a woman gave her ring, and then others gave, and then others gave. I said to 'Ata': Is It right now for the Imam to come to the women when he has finished (his address to the men) that he should exhort them (to good deeds)? He said: (Why not) by my life, it is right for them (to do so). What is the matter with them that they do not do it now?
إن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قام يوم الفطر فصلى فبدأ بالصلاة قبل الخطبة ثم خطب الناس فلما فرغ نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نزل وأتى النساء فذكرهن وهو يتوكأ على يد بلال وبلال باسط ثوبه يلقين النساء صدقة قلت: لعطاء زكاة يوم الفطر قال: لا ولكن صدقة يتصدقن بها حينئذ تلقي المرأة فتخها ويلقين ويلقين قلت لعطاء: أحقاً على الإمام الآن أن يأتي النساء حين يخلو فيذكرهن قال: إي لعمري إن ذلك لحق عليهم وما لهم لا يفعلون ذلكThe Shaykh : But we qualify this with what has come before: if he sees that he did not make them hear it, [he should go]. As for if he sees that he made them hear it, there is no need, except if there are reasons he thinks the women need, such as asking questions or the like.
