Abu Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who was a companion of Abu Huraira, narrates: I was with Saeed bin Aas. He invited Abu Musa Ash'ari and Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked them about the Takbeerat of the two Eids. Abu Musa said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say four Takbeers in the Eid prayers, just like in the funeral prayer. Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) confirmed this. Abu Musa said that when I was the governor of Basra, I also used to lead the Eid prayer in the same manner.

The narrator says that I mentioned this to Ibn Sireen, so he said that they spoke correctly, except that they omitted the takbeer-e-tahreema.
