    شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعِيدَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «إِنَّا نَخْطُبُ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ لِلْخُطْبَةِ فَلْيَجْلِسْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ فَلْيَذْهَبْ» هَذَا «حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» وَهُوَ مَعْنَى الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فِي الْأَعْيَادِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ على شرط الشيخين

    ✧ He heard Abu Yahya Ubayd Allah al-Taymi narrate from Abu Hurayrah that rain fell on them on a day of Eid, “so the Prophet ﷺ led them in the Eid prayer in the mosque.” This hadith has a sahih chain but they did not include it.

    ✧ I witnessed Ibn al-Zubayr in Mecca while he was the emir, and it happened to be either the day of Fitr or Adha coinciding with a Friday. He delayed going out until the day had risen high, then he went out and ascended the pulpit, delivered a lengthy sermon, and then performed two rak'ahs (units of prayer) and did not perform the Friday prayer. Some people from Banu Umayya ibn Abd Shams reproached him for this. When Ibn Abbas heard about it, he said, "Ibn al-Zubayr has followed the Sunnah." When Ibn al-Zubayr heard about Ibn Abbas's comment, he said, "I saw Umar ibn al-Khattab do the same thing when both Eids coincided."

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would go out on the day of Fitr and pray those two rak’ahs, then say the taslim, then stand and face the people while they were seated, and say: “Give charity, give charity.” The majority of those who gave charity were women, with earrings and rings.
