'A narration similar to this has also been reported from Aamir Sha'bi through these chains.'

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to set out for the praying place in the morning of the day of ‘Eid, and a small spear would be carried before him. When he reached the praying place, it would be set up in front of him, then he would pray facing it, and that was because the praying place was an open space in which there was nothing that could serve as a Sutrah*. *Sutrah (screen), meaning a barrier of some type.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:`“When the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) prayed on the day of ‘Eid or on another occasion, a small spear was set up in front of him, and he prayed facing it, and the people were behind him.”Nafi said: It is from here that the leaders have taken this practice.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) prayed ‘Eid at the prayer place, using a small spear as a Sutrah.

It was narrated that Umm ‘Atiyyah said:`“The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded us to bring them (the women) out on the day of Fitr and the day of Nahr.”Umm ‘Atiyyah said:“We said: ‘What if one of them does not have an outer covering?’ He said: ‘Let her sister share her own outer covering with her.’”

It was narrated that Umm ‘Atiyyah said:`“The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘Bring out the women who have attained puberty and those who are in seclusion so that they may attend the ‘Eid prayer and (join in) the supplication of the Muslims. But let the women who are menstruating avoid the prayer place.”

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to bring his daughters and his wives out on the two ‘Eid.

It was narrated that Iyas bin Abi Ramlah Ash-Shami said:`“I heard a man asking Zaid bin Arqam: ‘Were you present with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when there were two ‘Eid on one day?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘What did he do?’ He said: ‘He prayed the ‘Eid prayer, then he granted a concession not to pray the Friday, then he said:“Whoever wants to pray (Friday), let him do so.”’”

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“Two ‘Eid have come together on this day of yours. So whoever wants, that (the ‘Eid prayer) will suffice him, and he will not have to pray Friday, but we will pray Friday if Allah wills.”Another chain with similar wording.

A similar marfu’ narration has also been reported from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) through this chain.
