A man said to him, "Did you witness the going out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?"He replied, "Yes, and were it not for my close relationship to him, I would not have witnessed it," meaning, on account of his young age.He came to the marker that stood near the house of Kathir bin Salt, then he delivered the sermon. Then he went to the women and admonished them, reminded them, and ordered them to give in charity. A woman would reach her hand to her throat and cast her ornaments into Bilal's garment. Then he and Bilal returned to the house.
