Iyas bin Abi Ramla said: I was with Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he asked Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him): Did you ever witness Eid and Jumu'ah occurring on the same day with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Then what did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do? Zaid said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Eid prayer and then gave a concession regarding Jumu'ah, and said: "Whoever wishes may perform it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out for the Eid prayer, he would return by a different route.
