Sahih Muslim Book - 8, Hadith - 2047

وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَطَاءٌ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَامَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَصَلَّى فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- نَزَلَ وَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَذَكَّرَهُنَّ وَهُوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى يَدِ بِلاَلٍ وَبِلاَلٌ بَاسِطٌ ثَوْبَهُ يُلْقِينَ النِّسَاءُ صَدَقَةً. قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ زَكَاةَ يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ صَدَقَةً يَتَصَدَّقْنَ بِهَا حِينَئِذٍ تُلْقِى الْمَرْأَةُ فَتَخَهَا وَيُلْقِينَ وَيُلْقِينَ. قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ أَحَقًّا عَلَى الإِمَامِ الآنَ أَنْ يَأْتِىَ النِّسَاءَ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ فَيُذَكِّرَهُنَّ قَالَ إِى لَعَمْرِى إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَحَقٌّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا لَهُمْ لاَ يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ.

It was narrated from Ibn Juraij from 'Ata', from that Jabir bin 'Abdullah, who said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) stood one day on ('Id) Al-Fitr and prayed. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, then he addressed the people. When the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) had finished he came down and went to the women, and he reminded them while leaning on Bilal's arm. Bilal spread his garment and the women threw charity into it. I said to 'Ata': "Was it the Zakat Al-Fitr?" He said: "No, rather it was charity that they gave at that time; women threw in their bracelets and so on." I said to 'Ata': "Is it a duty of the Imam now to go to the woman when he has finished his Khutbah and address them?" He said: "Yes, for the life of me, that is a duty for them, and why is it that they do not do that?"
