Hadis 03

Sahih Bukhari
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri

On 'Id ul Fitr or 'Id ul Adha Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out to the Musalla. After finishing the prayer,
he delivered the sermon and ordered the people to give alms. He said, "O people! Give alms." Then
he went towards the women and said. "O women! Give alms, for I have seen that the majority of the
dwellers of Hell-Fire were you (women)." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the reason
for it?" He replied, "O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not
seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. O women, some of you can lead a
cautious wise man astray." Then he left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Ibn
Masud, came and asked permission to enter It was said, "O Allah's Apostle! It is Zainab." He asked,
'Which Zainab?" The reply was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ub. He said, "Yes, allow her to enter."
And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of Allah! Today you ordered people to give alms
and I had an ornament and intended to give it as alms, but Ibn Masud said that he and his children
deserved it more than anybody else." The Prophet replied, "Ibn Masud had spoken the truth. Your
husband and your children had more right to it than anybody else."
