Narrated Sa`id bin `Amr bin Sa`id bin Al-`Aas: Al-Hajjaj went to Ibn `Umar while I was present there. Al-Hajjaj asked Ibn `Umar, "How are you?" Ibn `Umar replied, "I am all right," Al-Hajjaj asked, "Who wounded you?" Ibn `Umar replied, "The person who allowed arms to be carried on the day on which it was forbidden to carry them (he meant Al-Hajjaj)."

And Abdullah bin Busr, the Companion, (objected to the Imam coming out late in the region of Sham and) said: We used to finish the prayer at a time when it was permissible to offer voluntary prayers.

Narrated Al-Bara': The Prophet delivered the Khutba on the day of Nahr (`Id-ul-Adha) and said, "The first thing we should do on this day of ours is to pray and then return and slaughter (our sacrifices). So anyone who does so he acted according to our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered before the prayer then it was just meat that he offered to his family and would not be considered as a sacrifice in any way. My uncle Abu Burda bin Niyyar got up and said, "O, Allah's Apostle! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet said, "Slaughter it in lieu of the first and such a goat will not be considered as a sacrifice for anybody else after you."

And Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that in (the verse) "And remember Allah during the appointed days," the "appointed days" refer to the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and «اأيام المعدودات» refers to the days of Tashreeq. Ibn Umar and Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to go out to the marketplace during these ten days, and when people heard their takbeer (proclamation of Allah's greatness), they would also say the takbeer. And Muhammad bin Baqir (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say the takbeer even after voluntary prayers.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)." Then some companions of the Prophet said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allah's sake) and does not return with any of those things."

And ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say the takbir inside his tent at Mina, and the people in the mosque would hear him and they too would start saying the takbir. Then the people in the market would also start saying the takbir, and all of Mina would resound with the takbir. ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say the takbir at Mina during those days after the prayers, on his bed, in his tent, in gatherings, on the road, and during all parts of the day. And Umm al-Mu’minin Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say the takbir on the tenth day, and the women used to say the takbir in the mosque behind Aban ibn ‘Uthman and ‘Abd al-‘Aziz along with the men.

Narrated Muhammad bin Abi Bakr Al-Thaqafi: While we were going from Mina to `Arafat, I asked Anas bin Malik, about Talbiya, "How did you use to say Talbiya in the company of the Prophet?" Anas said: "People used to say Talbiya and their saying was not objected to and they used to say Takbir and that was not objected to either. "

Narrated Um `Atiya: We used to be ordered to come out on the Day of `Id and even bring out the virgin girls from their houses and menstruating women so that they might stand behind the men and say Takbir along with them and invoke Allah along with them and hope for the blessings of that day and for purification from sins.

Narrated Ibn `Umar On the day of `Id-ul-Fitr and `Id-ul-Adha a spear used to be planted in front of: the Prophet I (as a Sutra for the prayer) and then he would pray.

Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet used to proceed to the Musalla and an 'Anaza used to be carried before him and planted in the Musalla in front of him and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra).
