سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَكْعَتَانِ لَيْسَ قَبْلَهُمَا وَ لَا بَعْدَهُمَا شَيْءٌ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهِمَا أَذَانٌ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٌ يُكَبِّرُ فِيهِمَا اثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَ تَكْبِيرَةً يَبْدَأُ فَيُكَبِّرُ وَ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحَيهَا ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ خَمْسَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَ يَرْكَعُ فَيَكُونُ يَرْكَعُ بِالسَّابِعَةِ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ هَلْ أَتَيكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَ يُسَلِّمُ قَالَ وَ كَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ الْخُطْبَةُ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنَّمَا أَحْدَثَ الْخُطْبَةَ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ عُثْمَانُ وَ إِذَا خَطَبَ الْإِمَامُ فَلْيَقْعُدْ بَيْنَ الْخُطْبَتَيْنِ قَلِيلًا وَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدَيْنِ بُرْداً وَ يَعْتَمَّ شَاتِياً كَانَ أَوْ قَائِظاً وَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْبَرِّ حَيْثُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى آفَاقِ السَّمَاءِ وَ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَى حَصِيرٍ وَ لَا يَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَيُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Muawiya who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> of the two Eids, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>. There is neither anything before these two nor after these two, and there is neither an <span class="iTxt">Azan</span> in these two nor an <span class="iTxt">Iqamah</span>. One should exclaim <span class="iTxt">Takbīrs</span> in these with twelve <span class="iTxt">Takbīrs</span> in the beginning. So he would exclaim <span class="iTxt">Takbīr</span> and he would commence the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. Then he should recite the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1), then he should recite <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:91#h1"><a href="/books/quran:91#h1">[91:1]</a></a> I swear by the sun and its brilliance</span> (Chapter 91). Then he should exclaim five <span class="iTxt">Takbīrs</span>, then one <span class="iTxt">Takbīr</span> and <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, so that his <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span> would happen be with the seventh (<span class="iTxt">Takbīr</span>). Then he should perform two Sajdahs. Then he should be standing so he would recite the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1), and <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:88#h1"><a href="/books/quran:88#h1">[88:1]</a></a> Has not there come to you the Hadeeth of the overwhelming?</span> (Chapter 88). Then he should exclaim four <span class="iTxt">Takbīrs</span>, and perform two Sajdahs, and he should say <span class="iTxt">Salām</span>’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> did it like that. And the sermon is after the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. But rather, it was Usman who innovated it to be before the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. And when the prayer leader addresses, so let him be seated for a little while in between the two Sajdahs; and it is befitting for the prayer leader that he wears, on the day of the two Eids, a cloak, and a Shatiyya or a Qaizan turban, and he should go out to the open ground (outdoors) where he can look at the horizons of the sky, and he should neither pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> upon straw (harvested ground) nor perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah </span>upon it; and Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> had gone out to Al-Baqi’e, so he prayed with the people (leading them)’.
