ACCOUNT OF FASTING IN THE MONTH OFRAMADAN, FITRAH CHARITY, `IED PRAYERS ANDSACRIFICE BEING MADE OBLIGATORY

Volume 1, Parts II.69.1
Muhammad Ibn Umar informed us:Abd Allah Ibn Abd al-Rahman al Jumahi informed us on the authority of al-Zuhri, he on the authority of Urwah, he on the authority of Ayishah; (second chain) he (lbn Sad)
said: Ubayd Allah Ibn 'Umar informed us on the authority of Nafi', he on the authority of IbnUmar; (third chain) he (lbn Sad) said:Abd
al-‘Aziz Ibn Muhammad informed us on the authority of Rubayh Ibn
Abd al-Rahman Ibn Abi Sa'id al-Khudri, he on the authority of his father, he on the authority of his (Rubayh's) grandfather; they said: (The revelation making fasting) obligatory in the month of Ramadan came in the month of Shaban a month after the change of the qiblah
towards the Kabah in the eighteenth month after the migration of the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, gave orders for the payment of fitrah in this year; and this was prior to the zakát having been made obligatory. (The fitrah) was to be paid on behalf of every young and old person, whether a slave or a free man, male or female at the rate of one sá of dates, barley or raisins or
two mudds of wheat. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, used to
deliver a Khutbah two days before the festival of fitr and ordered it to be
paid before going to the place of worship. He said: Make them, i.e., the
poor contented (and thus prevent them) from wandering (for begging)
that day, and when he returned (from prayers) he used to distribute it.
The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, offered prayers in the place of
worship on the day of Id al-Fitr before delivering Khutbah; and he offered prayers on the day of Id al-Adha and ordered the sacrifices to be performed. He lived at al-Madinah for ten years and every year he offered the sacrifice.

Volume 1, Parts II.69.2 Ibn Sa'd's (public_html/religie/hadith) 'Abd Allah Ibn Numayr informed us on the authority of Hajjaj, he on the authority of Nafi'; he said: IbnUmar was asked about the performance of sacrifices. He replied:
The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, stayed in al-Madinah for ten
years, and during this period he offered sacrifice every year.
The original narration which begins with the name of Muhammad
Ibn Umar continues; they said: He used to offer prayers on the two 'Id days before reciting Khutbah without Adhan or Iqàmah (Iqamah: When people are ready to offer prayers and the Imam takes his position a person repeats the expressions of Adhan with an additional phrase qad qamat alsalah (the rows for prayers are arranged) being said. A wooden stick with a bent edge was placed before him. This belonged to Zubayr Ibn al- Awwam who had brought it from Abyssinia, and the Apostle of Allah,
may Allah bless him, had taken it from him.

Volume 1, Parts II.69.3
Hammad Ibn Khalid al-Khayyat (tailor) informed us on the authority of
al-Umari, he on the authority of Nafi, he on the authority of Ibn Umar; he said: A stick was brought to the Prophet on the day ofId and it was placed
before him and then he offered prayers.
Again, the narration is now connected with the one beginning with
Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar; they said: When the Apostle of Allah, may Allah
bless him, wanted to offer sacrifice he purchased two fat rams, having
horns. When he had performed the prayers and recited the Khutbah, one
of them was brought to him while he stood at the place of worship; he
slaughtered it with a knife with his own hand. Then he used to say: 0
Allah ! this is on behalf of my people who bear witness to Thy unity and
to my prophethood. After that the óther was brought, and he slaughtered
it on his own behalf with his own hand. Then he said: This is from
Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad. He and the members of his
family ate from them and also fed the poor. He used to slaughter (the
rams) in the street near the house of Mu’àwiyah.
Muhammad Ibn `Umar said: The Imams of al-Madinah, follow the
same practice.
