Eid ul Adha

 

Some Narrations Related To The 'Eid Prayer[1]

 

 

1.     Recommendation To Take A Bath

 

A man asked Alee about the recommended Ghusls, to which Alee (may Allaah be pleased with him) replied, "(They are performed on) the Day of Jumuah, the Day of Arafah, the Day of Nahr (Sacrifice), and the Day of Fitr."[2]

 

 

2.     Recommended To Adorn Ourselves

 

Narrated Abdullaah bin Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him): Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) bought a silk cloak from the market, took it to Allaah Messenger (peace be upon him) and said, "O Allaah's Messenger! Take it and adorn yourself with it during the Eid and when the delegations visit you." Allaah's Messenger (peace be upon him) replied, "This dress is for those who have no share (in the Hereafter)." After a long period Allaah's Messenger (peace be upon him) sent to Umar a cloak of silk brocade. Umar came to Allaah's Messenger (peace be upon him) with the cloak and said, "O Allaah's Messenger! You said that this dress was for those who had no share (in the Hereafter); yet you have sent me this cloak." Allaah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said to him, "Sell it and fulfil your needs by it."[3]

 

Al – Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "The evidence derived from this Hadeeth is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) approved of Umar's understanding concerning adornment, and only objected to wearing that kind of garment, because it was made of silk."[4]

 

 

3.     Not To Eat Before Going Out For The Pray

 

Abdullaah bin Buraidah narrated from his father: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) would not leave on the day of Fitr until he ate, and he would not eat on the day of Adhaa until he prayed."[5]

 

 

4.     The Prayer Is Obligatory And Should Be Prayer On A Musallaa[6]

 

It was narrated that Umm 'Attiyah ( may Allaah be pleased with him) said: On Al – Fitr and Al – Adhaa, the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) commanded us to bring out that girls who had reached puberty, menstruating women and women in seclusion. The menstruating women were to keep away from the prayer but to witness goodness and the supplications of the Muslims. I said, "O Messenger of Allaah, one of us may not have a Jilbaab." He (peace be upon him) said, "Let her sister lend her a Jilbaab to wear."[7]

 

In the version narrated in Saheeh Bukhaari, it says, Narrated Muhammad: Umm 'Attiyah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "Our Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered us to come out (on 'Eid day) with the mature girls and the virgins staying in seclusion." Hafsah (may Allaah be pleased with her) narrated the above mentioned Hadeeth and added, "The mature girls or virgins staying in seclusion but the menstruating women had to keep away from the Musallaa."[8]

 

Sheikh al – Albaanee (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, "The Prophet's (peace be upon him) command indicates that it is obligatory to go the musallaa and, obviously, to pray (the 'Eid prayer). Thus the truth is that it is obligatory, and not merely voluntary."[9]

 

 

5.     No Adhaan And No Iqaamah

 

It was narrated that Jaabir bin Samurah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "I prayed both 'Eid with the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him), not just one or two times, with no Adhaan and no Iqaamah."[10]

 

 

6.     Khutbah Is Given After The Prayer

 

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him): "Allaah's Messenger (peace be upon him), Aboo Bakr and 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) used to offer the Salaat – al – 'Eidain (the two 'Eid Prayers) before delivering the Khutbah."[11]

 

 

7.     No Voluntary Prayers Before and After

 

Narrated Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him): "The Prophet (peace be upon him) offered two Rak'aah Salaat (prayer) on the day of 'Eid – al – Fitr and he did not offer any Salaat before or after it. Then he went towards women along with Bilaal and ordered them to give alms and so they started giving their ear – rings and necklaces (in charity)."[12]

 

 

8.     Number of Takbeers And Their Place

 

The authentic Hadeeth indicate the correct numbers are 7 Takbeers in the first Ra'kaah and 5 Takbeers in the last one. However, the commonly followed 3 Takbeers in the first and last Rak'aah is based on an unreliable Hadeeth, and Allaah knows best

 

Authentic Hadeeth: Katheer bin 'Abdullaah narrated from his father, from his grandfather: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) said the Takbeer in the first (Rak'aah) seven (times) before the recitation, and in the last, five (times) before the recitation."[13]

 

Weak Hadeeth: Aboo 'Aa'ishah, who was sat with Aboo Hurayrah, narrated that Sa'eed bin Al – 'Aas asked Aboo Moosaa Al – Asha'aree and Hudhaifah bin Yamaan: "How did the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) perform the Takbeer during ('Eid) Al – Adha and Al – Fitr?" Aboo Moosaa said, "He would say the Takbeer four times, just like he would do for the funeral prayer." Hudhaifah said, "He has told the truth." So Aboo Moosaa said, "And this is how I would say the Takbeer in Al – Basrah, while I as in charge of them." And Aboo 'Aa'ishah said, "And I was present (at this time) with Sa'eed bin Al – 'Aas."[14]

 

9.     Raising Hands For The Extra Takbeers

 

Sheikh al – Albaanee (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, "The reports from 'Umar and his son (may Allaah be pleased with them both) do not make this a Sunnah, especially when we know that these reports are not authentic. As for the one from 'Umar, it is recorded by al – Bayhaqee with a weak chain. As for his son's, I am unable to locate it."[15]

 

 

10. What To Recite Between Each Takbeer

 

Ibn ul – Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to remain silent between every two Takbeers, and nothing has been reported from him regarding Thikr[16] between them."[17]

 

 

11. Raising The Voice For Each Takbeer

 

Dr. Muhammad al – Jibaaly said, "There are no authentic reports indicating that people raised their voices with Takbeer when they prayed behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) or his Successors. Furthermore, a general rule is a Muslim should say all Thikr silently, especially if there are other people around him who may be disturbed by his raised voice."[18]

 

Allaah, the Most High, says in the Qur'aan: "Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret. He likes not the aggressors."[19]

 

 

12. Taking One Route And Returning On Another

 

Aboo Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated: "When Allaah's Messenger (peace be upon him) would go out on the day of 'Eid by one route, he would return by another."[20]

 

 

13. Takbeer During The Two 'Eids

 

Allaah, the Most High, says in the Qur'aan: "It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allâh, but it is piety from you that reaches Him. Thus have We made them subject to you that you may magnify Allâh for His Guidance to you. And give glad tidings (O Muhammad SAW) to the Muhsinûn (doers of good)."[21]

 

Az – Zuhree (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, "The people said the Takbeer on 'Eid from the time they left their homes until they reached the musallaa, and (said it at the musallaa) until the imam arrived. When the imam arrived, they became silent; but if he said the Takbeer, they would also say it."[22]

 

 

14. Wording Of The Takbeer

 

From Ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) and Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him):

 

"Allaahu akbar; Allaahu akbar; Allaahu akbar; laa ilaha illa – llaah; Allaahu akbar; Allaahu akbar; Allaahu akbaru; wa – lillaahi il – hamd."

 

(Allaah is the greatest; Allaah is the greatest; Allaah is the greatest; there is no (true) god except Allaah; Allaah is the greatest; Allaah is the greatest; Allaah is the greatest; and to Allaah belongs all praise.)[23]

 

 

15. Adding To The Takbeer and Reciting It In Unison

 

An example of an inauthentic addition to the Takbeer:

 

"Allaahu akbaru kabeeraa, wal – hamdu lillaahi katheera, wa – subhaan Allaahi wa – bi – hamdihi bukratan wa – aseelaa…"

 

Dr. Muhammad al – Jiblaay said, "Even though these additional statements generally have good meanings, they should be avoided because the sahaabah did not say them."[24]

 

Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, "Some baseless additions to the Takbeer have been innovated in our time."[25]

 

Sheikh 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, "In some masjids, a mu'athin (announcer) says the Takbeers (of 'Eid) on the loud – speaker, and people echo what he says. This is a bid'ah (innovation) because it is known from the Prophet's (peace be upon him) guidance in regard to Thikr that every person should mention Allaah, the Most High, by himself. It is not permissible to depart from the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions."[26]

 

 

And It is Only Allaah Who grants success. May Allaah Exalt the mention of His slave and Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him), and render him, his household and companion safe from Evil.

***ALLAH IS GREAT***

Human beings are members of a whole,

In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,

Other members uneasy will remain.

If you've no sympathy for human pain,

The name of human you cannot retain!
