Sahih al-Bukhari 98 (Book 3, Hadith 40) #98
Giving Alms in Response to Preaching

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) preached to the women and asked them to give alms, and they responded by donating their jewelry.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Once Allah's Messenger came out while Bilal was accompanying him. He went towards the women thinking that they had not heard him (ie his sermon). So he preached them and ordered them to pay alms. (Hearing that) the women started giving alms; some donated their ear-rings, some gave their rings and Bilal was collecting them in the corner of his garment.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ أَوْ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ، فَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ، وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي الْقُرْطَ وَالْخَاتَمَ، وَبِلاَلٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي طَرَفِ ثَوْبِهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَقَالَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of giving charity, or sadaqah. It was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas that once the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went out with Bilal and preached to a group of women. He asked them to give alms, which are donations given for charitable purposes. The women responded positively and donated their jewelry such as earrings and rings which Bilal collected in his garment. This hadith teaches us that when we are called upon for charity, we should respond positively with whatever resources we have available. It also shows us how generous people can be when they are inspired by faith; even small items like jewelry can make a big difference when it comes from a place of sincerity and devotion towards Allah SWT.
