The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out on the day of Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr to the prayer ground. After finishing the prayer, he turned to the people, admonished them, and urged them to give charity. He said, "People, give charity."Then he passed by the women and said, "Women, give charity, for I have seen that you make up the majority of the inhabitants of the Fire."They asked, "Why is that, Messenger of Allah?"He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more capable of robbing a prudent man of his reason than one of you, despite your deficiency in intellect and religion, women."Then he left. When he reached his home, Zaynab, the wife of Ibn Masud, came seeking permission to enter.It was said, "Messenger of Allah, this is Zaynab."He asked, "Which Zaynab?"It was said, "The wife of Ibn Masud."He said, "Yes, let her in." So she was given permission.She said, "Prophet of Allah, you commanded today that we give charity. I have some jewelry of mine that I wished to give in charity, but Ibn Masud claims that he and his children are more deserving of it than anyone else I might give it to."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Ibn Masud has spoken the truth. Your husband and your children are more deserving of your charity than anyone else."
حدثنا ابن أبي مريم أخبرنا محمد بن جعفر قال أخبرني زيد هو ابن أسلم عن عياض بن عبد الله
خرج رسول الله ﷺ في أضحى أو فطر إلى المصلى ثم انصرف فوعظ الناس وأمرهم بالصدقة فقال أيها الناس تصدقوا فمر على النساء فقال يا معشر النساء تصدقن فإني رأيتكن أكثر أهل النار فقلن وبم ذلك يا رسول الله قال تكثرن اللعن وتكفرن العشير ما رأيت من ناقصات عقل ودين أذهب للب الرجل الحازم من إحداكن يا معشر النساء ثم انصرف فلما صار إلى منزله جاءت زينب امرأة ابن مسعود تستأذن عليه فقيل يا رسول الله هذه زينب فقال أي الزيانب فقيل امرأة ابن مسعود قال نعم ائذنوا لها فأذن لها قالت يا نبي الله إنك أمرت اليوم بالصدقة وكان عندي حلي لي فأردت أن أتصدق به فزعم ابن مسعود أنه وولده أحق من تصدقت به عليهم فقال النبي ﷺ صدق ابن مسعود زوجك وولدك أحق من تصدقت به عليهم
