The Book on the Two Eids

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ بَعْدَهَا وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَلَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏
"He went out on the day of Eid, and he did not pray before it nor after it. He mentioned that the Prophet did so."
Narrated by Abu Bakr bin Hafs - and he is Ibn Umar bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqas - narrated about Ibn Umar, that:

Context

Ibn Umar narrates that on the day of Eid, he did not pray before or after the Eid prayer, indicating that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also practiced this. This hadith highlights the significance of the Eid prayer itself, suggesting that it is a standalone act of worship that does not require additional prayers before or after.

Modern Application

On Eid, many Muslims focus on the communal prayer and celebration rather than additional prayers. This hadith encourages individuals to embrace the spirit of Eid by participating fully in the Eid prayer and festivities without the need for preceding or following prayers.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer because it emphasizes the practice of the Eid prayer and its significance in the Islamic tradition.
