Abdullah bin Farukh says: I offered the Eid prayer behind Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him); he said seven takbeers in the first rak'ah and five takbeers in the second rak'ah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to recite Surah Al-A'la and Surah Al-Ghashiyah in the Eid prayers.

It is narrated from Ubaydullah bin Abdullah that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, asked Sayyiduna Abu Waqid Al-Laithi, may Allah be pleased with him: "Which recitation did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, perform in the Eid prayer?" He replied: "He, peace and blessings be upon him, used to recite Surah Qaf and Surah Al-Qamar."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah Al-A’la and Surah Al-Ghashiyah in the prayers of both Eids, and if that day happened to be a Friday, he would recite the same in both prayers. In another narration, it is stated: If Eid and Friday coincided, he would still recite these same Surahs.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the two rak‘ahs of the Eid prayer, and in both rak‘ahs he did not recite anything except Surah Al-Fatihah, that is, he did not recite any (verse or surah) in addition to Surah Al-Fatihah.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of Eid prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer before the sermon, without any call to prayer or iqamah. After completing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up leaning on Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), praised Allah, and gave advice and admonition to the people, encouraging them to obey him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards the women, and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them to fear Allah and gave them further advice and admonition. There too, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praised Allah, encouraged them to obey him, and then said: Give charity, for indeed most of you women are the fuel of Hell. Among the women of the lower ranks, a woman with dark cheeks said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the reason for this? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Because you complain a lot and are ungrateful to your husbands. After this, the women began to take off their jewelry, necklaces, earrings, and rings and started throwing them into the cloth of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to give in charity.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O assembly of women! Give charity, even if it is from your jewelry, because most of you are dwellers of the Fire. A woman, who was not from among the noble women, stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the reason for this? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Because you frequently curse and are ungrateful to your husbands.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I have attended the Eid al-Fitr prayer with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them). All of them used to perform the prayer before the sermon, and then deliver the sermon afterwards. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), after finishing the Eid sermon, descended, and it is as if I can still see him (peace and blessings be upon him) as he was seating the people with his hand. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) moved forward, parting through the people, and reached the women, while Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse there: {یَا أَیُّہَا النَّبِیُّ اِذَا جَائَ کَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ یُبَایِعْنَکَ عَلٰیٓ أَنْ لَّا یُشْرِکْنَ بِاللّٰہِ شَیْئًا … } (O Prophet! When believing women come to you to pledge allegiance that they will not associate anything with Allah...) He recited the entire verse. When he finished, he said: Are you committed to this (pledge)? One woman replied: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. No other woman spoke. Hasan, the narrator, does not know who she was. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give charity. So Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) spread out a cloth and said: Come, may my parents be sacrificed for you. So they began to put large rings and small rings into the cloth of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gathered everything in the cloth, and then they left.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up on the day of Eid al-Fitr and began with the prayer before the sermon. Then he addressed the people with a sermon. When he finished, he descended and came to the women and gave them advice and admonition, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was leaning on the hand of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), who had spread out his cloth, and the women were putting their charity in it, giving large rings and other jewelry as charity.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out on the days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, lead the people in two units of Eid prayer, then move forward and turn towards the people while they were sitting, and then say: "Give charity, give charity, give charity." Among the people, women would give the most charity in the form of their earrings, rings, and other items. Then, if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) needed to send out an army, he would mention it, and if there was no such need, he would return.
