Sunan an-Nasai 1576 (Book 19, Hadith 21) #16187
Encouraging Charity on Special Occasions

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to lead the people in prayer on the days of Al-Fitr and Al-Adha, and he would encourage them to give charity.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that: The Messenger of Allah used to go out to the prayer place on the day of Al-Fitr and the day of Al-Adha and lead the people in prayer. When he sat during the second rak'ah and said the taslim, he stood up and turned to face the people while the people were sitting. If he needed to mention something concerning the dispatch of an army he would tell the people, otherwise he would enjoin the people to give charity. He said: "Give charity" three times, and among those who gave the most charity were the women.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمَ الأَضْحَى إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَيُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَالنَّاسُ جُلُوسٌ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ بَعْثًا ذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِلاَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَصَدَّقُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَكَانَ مِنْ أَكْثَرِ مَنْ يَتَصَدَّقُ النِّسَاءُ

Give Charity
EXPLANATIONS:
On special occasions such as Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would lead the people in prayer. After completing his prayer, he would turn to face the people while they were still sitting down. If there was something important that needed to be mentioned, such as dispatching an army, he would tell them about it. Otherwise, he encouraged them to give charity three times. Women were among those who gave the most charity during this time. This hadith teaches us that giving charity is a noble act that should be done often and especially during special occasions like Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha. It also shows us how generous women are when it comes to giving charity which is a great example for all of us today!
