Women spent the most in charity

Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (a Companion) narrated: “The Messenger of Al- lah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to go the prayer grounds on the day of ‘Eed Al-Adh-ha and ‘Eed Al-Fitr (the two festivals Muslims celebrate) and would start by offering the prayer. Then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would turn around to people while they were still sitting in their places and address them if he needed to advise them about a certain matter. Then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would say: “O people! Give alms, give alms, give alms” and women were the ones who would spend the most.”1
