Sahih al-Bukhari 977 (Book 13, Hadith 26) #943
Giving Alms in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) preached to the women, advised them and ordered them to give alms.

Narrated 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abis: Ibn 'Abbas was asked whether he had joined the Prophet in the 'Id prayer. He said, "Yes. And I could not have joined him had I not been young. (The Prophet came out) till he reached the mark which was near the house of Kathir bin As-Salt, offered the prayer, delivered the Khutba and then went towards the women. Bilal was accompanying him. He preached to them and advised them and ordered them to give alms. I saw the women putting their ornaments with their outstretched hands into Bilal's garment. Then the Prophet along with Bilal returned home.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قِيلَ لَهُ أَشَهِدْتَ الْعِيدَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ نَعَمْ، وَلَوْلاَ مَكَانِي مِنَ الصِّغَرِ مَا شَهِدْتُهُ، حَتَّى أَتَى الْعَلَمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ دَارِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ خَطَبَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ، وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ، فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَكَّرَهُنَّ، وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُنَّ يُهْوِينَ بِأَيْدِيهِنَّ يَقْذِفْنَهُ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ هُوَ وَبِلاَلٌ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates the story of how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ preached to women and encouraged them to give alms. He went out with Bilal until they reached a mark near Kathir bin As-Salt's house. There he offered prayer and delivered a sermon before going towards the women. Bilal was accompanying him as he preached and advised them on giving charity or alms. The women responded by putting their ornaments into Bilal's garment as an act of charity. After this, both the Prophet ﷺ and Bilal returned home together. This hadith teaches us that giving charity is an important part of our faith in Islam; it is not only encouraged but also highly recommended for all Muslims regardless of gender or age group. Furthermore, it also shows us that even small acts of kindness can make a difference in someone’s life; no matter how small your contribution may be, it will still be appreciated by Allah SWT if done with sincerity and good intentions.
