1. It
is preferred to make the ghusl, perfume one's self and don one's best attire on
the occasions of the two Eid prayers. وعن الحسن السبط، قال: أمرنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في العيدين، أن نلبس أجود ما نجد، وأن نتطيب بأجود ما نجد، وأن نضحي بأثمن ما نجد Al-Hassan as-Sibt says: "The Messenger of Allah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) ordered us to wear the best clothes we could find for the two Eids and to apply the best perfume we could find and to sacrifice the best animal we could find." [Hakim]2. It is Sunnah to eat before going to the salah for Eidul fitr, (the end of Ramadan) but not do so on the occasion of the Eiddul adha (commemorating Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) sacrifice). For Eidul fitr, it is a sunnah to eat an odd number of dates before going to pray salatul Eid while for Eidul adha the eating should be delayed until one returns from the Eid prayers and then he may eat of his sacrifice if he has sacrificed an animal.
حدثنا محمد بن عبد الرحيم حدثنا سعيد
بن سليمان قال حدثنا هشيم قال أخبرنا عبيد الله بن أبي بكر بن أنس
عن أنس بن مالك قال
Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA):
Allah's Apostle
(Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam)
never proceeded (for the
prayer) on the Day of Eid-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Anas (RA) also
narrated: The Prophet
(Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam)
used to eat odd number of
dates.
[Bukhari] عن بريدة رضي الله عنه قال : " كان النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - لا يخرج يوم الفطر حتى يأكل، ولا يأكل يوم الأضحى حتى يرجع فيأكل من أضحيته " رواه أحمد
Buraidah (RA) reports: "The Prophet
(Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam)
would not go out on the day of breaking the fast ('Eid-ul-Fitr)
until he had eaten and on the day of sacrifice (Eid-ul-Adha)
he would not eat until he had returned [from salah]. And he would eat from his
sacrifice."
[Ahmed]

حدثني إسحاق بن إبراهيم بن نصر قال حدثنا عبد
الرزاق قال حدثنا ابن جريج قال أخبرني عطاء عن جابر بن عبد الله
قال سمعته يقول
Narrated Ibn Juraij (RA) : 'Ata' (RA) told me that he had
heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) saying, "The Prophet
(Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) stood up to offer the
prayer of the 'Eid-ul-Fitr.
He first offered the prayer and then delivered the Khutba. After finishing it he
got down (from the pulpit) and went towards the women and advised them while he
was leaning on Bilal's hand. Bilal was spreading out his garment where the women
were putting their alms..."
7 أخرجه الحسن بن أحمد البناء، من حديث جندب، قال: كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي بنا الفطر، والشمس على قيد رمحين ، والأضحى على قيد رمح . Ahmad ibn Hassan al-Bana' records that Jundub (RA) said: "The Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) prayed the Eidul fitr prayer while the sun was [approximately] six meters above the horizon and the Eid of the sacrifice while the sun was three meters above the horizon." [Talkheesul-Habeer] قال ابن قدامة: ويسن تقديم الأضحى؛ ليتسع وقت الضحية، وتأخير الفطر؛ ليتسع وقت إخراج صدقة الفطر، ولا أعلم فيه خلافاً. Ibn Qudamah (RA) says: "It is a sunnah to pray salatul adha early in order to allow more time for the people to perform the sacrifice, and the salatul fitr is to be delayed in order to give people time to pay zakat al-Fitr. I know of no difference of opinion on this point."

حدثنا محمد بن العلاء وابن أبي زياد
المعنى قريب قالا حدثنا زيد يعني ابن حباب عن عبد
الرحمن بن ثوبان عن أبيه عن مكحول قال أخبرني
أبو عائشة جليس لأبي هريرة
أن سعيد بن العاص سأل أبا موسى الأشعري وحذيفة بن اليمان كيف كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يكبر في الأضحى والفطر فقال أبو موسى كان يكبر أربعا تكبيره على الجنائز فقال حذيفة صدق فقال أبو موسى كذلك كنت أكبر في البصرة حيث كنت عليهم و قال أبو عائشة وأنا حاضر سعيد بن العاص Hazrat Abu Musa Ash’ari (radhiallahu anhu) was asked regarding the number of takbeers that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to say in both the Eid salaahs. He replied: "He (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to say four takbeers (in every rakaat), in the same way as he used to say the takbeers in the salaat al-Janaaza". Hazrat Hudhaifa (radhiallahu anhu) also confirmed this practice of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). [Abu Dawud]
حدثنا الحميدي عبد الله بن الزبير قال حدثنا سفيان
قال حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد الأنصاري قال أخبرني محمد بن إبراهيم التيمي
أنه سمع علقمة بن وقاص الليثي يقول سمعت عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه
على المنبر
13. The prayer begins with the first Takbeer i.e. Takbeeratul-Ihraam followed by Thana. حدثنا محمد بن مهران الرازي
حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم حدثنا الأوزاعي عن عبدة أن عمر بن
الخطاب كان يجهر بهؤلاء الكلمات يقول سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك تبارك اسمك وتعالى
جدك ولا إله غيرك وعن قتادة أنه كتب إليه يخبره عن أنس بن مالك
أنه حدثه 'Abda reported: 'Umar b. al-Khattab used to recite loudly these words: Subhanak Allahumma wa bi hamdika wa tabarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuka [Glory to Thee,0 Allah, and Thine is the Praise, and Blessed is Thy Name. and Exalted is Thy Majesty. and there is no other object of worship beside Thee]. Qatada informed in writing that Anas b. Malik had narrated to him: I observed prayer behind the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr and Umar and 'Uthman. They started (loud recitation) with: Al-hamdu lillahi Rabb al-'Alamin [All Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds] and did not recite Bismillah ir- Rahman-ir-Rahim (loudly) at the beginning of the recitation or at the end of it. [Muslim]
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك تبارك اسمك وتعالى جدك ولا إله غيرك
Note: Scholars have explained that the loud recitation of Umar (RA) was for teaching and in reality it should be recited silently as the later traditions indicate. 15. The Imam will then pronounce three additional Takbeers and everyone will raise hands and then drop them by the side. At the pronouncement of the fourth Takbeer the congregation will fold their hands and the Imam will then complete the Rak'ah as normal after reciting Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah. 16. In the second Rak'aat the Imam will recite Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah and then pronounce three additional Takbeers and everyone will raise hands and then drop them by the side. At the pronouncement of the fourth Takbeer the congregation will go into Ruku and the Imam will then complete the Rak'ah as normal. 17. It is Mustahab (preferred) for the Imam to recite Surah Al-A'la (Chapter 87) in the first Rakaat and Surah Al-Ghashiya (Chapter 88) in the second Rakaat. وعن سمرة رضي اللَّه عنه: (أن النبي صلى اللَّه عليه وآله وسلم كان يقرأ في العيدين بسبح اسم ربك الأعلى وهل أتاك حديث الغاشية). Samrah (RA) narrates that Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) used to recite Surah Al-A'la and Surah Al-Ghashiya in the Eid prayers. [Ahmed] 18. It is Sunnah for the Imam to deliver the Khutbah after the Eid prayers.
