مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« لاَ بُدَّ مِنَ اَلْعِمَامَةِ وَ اَلْبُرْدِ يَوْمَ اَلْأَضْحَى وَ اَلْفِطْرِ فَأَمَّا اَلْجُمُعَةُ فَإِنَّهَا تُجْزِي بِغَيْرِ عِمَامَةٍ وَ بُرْدٍ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from al-Abbas ibn Ma'ruf from Hammad ibn Isa from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: “It is necessary to wear the turban and the cloak on the Day of al-Adha and al-Fitr. As for Friday, it is sufficient without a turban and a cloak.”

Hadith 2

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« أُتِيَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِخُمْرَةٍ يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ فَأَمَرَ بِرَدِّهَا فَقَالَ« هَذَا يَوْمٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ فِيهِ إِلَى آفَاقِ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ يَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ»»

From him, from al-Abbas, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Rib'i, from al-Fudayl, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “A prayer mat (khumrah) was brought to my father (a.s), peace be upon him, on the Day of al-Fitr, and He (a.s) ordered it to be returned. Then He (Imam al-Baqir (a.s)) said: “This is a day on which the Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, loved to look toward the horizons of the sky and place his forehead on the earth.”

Hadith 3

عَنْهُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ قَالَ« تَصِلُ اَلْقِرَاءَةَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ» وَ قَالَ« تَبْدَأُ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فِي اَلْأُولَى ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ بِالسَّابِعَةِ»

From him, from Yaqub ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hisham ibn al-Hakam, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said regarding the prayer of the two Eids. Imam (a.s) said: “You connect the recitation with the recitation,” And Imam (a.s) said: “You begin with the takbir in the first (rak‘ah), then you recite, then you bow with the seventh (takbir).”

Hadith 4

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: مِثْلَهُ.

Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, and Hammad ibn Uthman from Ubaydullah al-Halabi from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: The same.

Hadith 5

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ إِلَى آفَاقِ اَلسَّمَاءِ» وَ قَالَ« لاَ يُصَلَّيَنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى بِسَاطٍ وَ لاَ بَارِيَةٍ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from al-Abbas from Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “The Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, used to go out until He (saws) looked at the horizons of the sky,” And Imam (a.s) said: “On that day, no one should pray upon a mat or a reed mat (bariyyah).”

Hadith 6

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَنْسَى أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ يَوْمَ اَلْعِيدِ حَتَّى صَلَّى قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ فِي وَقْتٍ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ وَ يُعِيدَ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ إِنْ مَضَى اَلْوَقْتُ فَقَدْ جَازَتْ صَلاَتُهُ»

From him, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Amr ibn Sa'id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar al-Sabati, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who forgets to perform the ghusl on the Day of Eid, until after he has prayed. Imam (a.s) said: “If it is still within the time, then he must perform the ghusl and repeat the prayer; but if the time has passed, then his prayer is valid.”

Commentary 1

قال محمد بن الحسن هذا الخبر محمول على الاستحباب لانا قد بينا ان غسل العيدين سنة ليس بفرض وأيضا قد بينا أن من فاتته صلاة العيد فلا يجب عليه قضاؤها وانما يستحب له الصلاة على الانفراد على ما بيناه

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan said: “This report is to be understood as referring to recommendation (mustahabb), because we have already explained that the ghusl of the two Eids is a sunnah, not an obligation. Also, we have clarified that whoever misses the Eid prayer is not required to make it up, but rather it is recommended for him to pray individually, as we have explained.”

Hadith 7

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ اَلتَّمِيمِيِّ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اِبْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنَّمَا اَلصَّلاَةُ يَوْمَ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ عَلَى مَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى اَلْجَبَّانَةِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةٌ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Tamimi, from Sayf ibn Umayrah, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said: Ibn Qays narrated to me from Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “Indeed, the prayer on the two Eid days is only upon the one who goes out to the open prayer ground (al-jabbana), and whoever does not go out, there is no prayer upon him.”

Hadith 8

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنَّ عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ اَلْمُحْبَسِينَ فِي اَلدَّيْنِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمَ اَلْعِيدِ إِلَى اَلْعِيدِ وَ يُرْسِلَ مَعَهُمْ فَإِذَا قَضَوُا اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ اَلْعِيدَ رَدَّهُمْ إِلَى اَلسِّجْنِ»

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Abdurrahman ibn Sayabah, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “Indeed, it is upon the (just) imam to bring out those imprisoned for debt on Fridays to the Friday prayer, and on the Day of Eid, to the Eid prayer, and to send someone with them. Then, when they have completed the prayer and the Eid, he should return them to the prison.”

Hadith 9

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا أَرَدْتَ اَلشُّخُوصَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فَانْفَجَرَ اَلصُّبْحُ وَ أَنْتَ بِالْبَلَدِ فَلاَ تَخْرُجْ حَتَّى تَشْهَدَ ذَلِكَ اَلْعِيدَ»

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Abi Najran, from Asim ibn Humayd, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “If you intend to depart on the day of Eid, and dawn breaks while you are still in the town, then do not leave until you attend that Eid.”

Hadith 10

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ شَعِرٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ اَلْغَنَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلتَّكْبِيرِ فِي اَلْفِطْرِ وَ اَلْأَضْحَى فَقَالَ« خَمْسٌ وَ أَرْبَعٌ فَلاَ يَضُرُّكَ إِذَا اِنْصَرَفْتَ عَلَى وَتْرٍ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Yazid ibn Ishaq Sha'ir, from Harun ibn Hamzah al-Ghanawi, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) about the takbir in al-Fitr and al-Adha. Imam (a.s) said: “Five and four, so it does not harm you if you finish with an odd number.”

Hadith 11

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَا كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي اَلْعِيدَيْنِ إِلاَّ تَكْبِيرَةً وَاحِدَةً حَتَّى أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ لِسَانُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتُ يَوْمِ عِيدٍ أَلْبَسَتْهُ أُمُّهُ عَلَيْهَا اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَرْسَلَتْهُ مَعَ جَدِّهِ فَكَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَكَبَّرَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حِينَ كَبَّرَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ سَبْعاً ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي اَلثَّانِيَةِ فَكَبَّرَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ كَبَّرَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حِينَ كَبَّرَ خَمْساً فَجَعَلَهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ سُنَّةً وَ ثَبَتَتِ اَلسُّنَّةُ إِلَى اَلْيَوْمِ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, from Zurarah, from Isa ibn Abdullah, from his father, from his grandfather, from Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam Ali (a.s) said: “The Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, would not say more than one takbir in the two Eids until the tongue of Imam al-Husayn (a.s), peace be upon him, was delayed in speech. Then, on one Eid day, his mother (Sayyidah Fatima (s.a)), peace be upon her, dressed him (Imam al-Husayn (a.s)) and sent him with his grandfather (saws). So the Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, pronounced the takbir, and Imam al-Husayn (a.s), peace be upon him, also pronounced the takbir when the Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, (had said it) seven times. Then He (saws) stood for the second unit, and the Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, pronounced the takbir, and Imam al-Husayn (a.s), peace be upon him, also pronounced the takbir when He (saws) (had said it) five times. So thus Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, made it a sunnah, and the sunnah has remained established until today.”

Hadith 12

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« تَقُولُ فِي دُعَاءِ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ بَيْنَ كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَتَيْنِ اَللَّهُ رَبِّي أَبَداً وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمُ دِينِي أَبَداً وَ مُحَمَّدٌ نَبِيِّي أَبَداً وَ اَلْقُرْآنُ كِتَابِي أَبَداً وَ اَلْكَعْبَةُ قِبْلَتِي أَبَداً وَ عَلِيٌّ وَلِيِّي أَبَداً وَ اَلْأَ وْصِيَاءُ أَئِمَّتِي أَبَداً وَ تُسَمِّيهِمْ إِلَى آخِرِهِمْ وَلاَ أَحَدَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ»

From him, from al-Abbas, from Abdurrahman ibn Hammad, from Bashir ibn Sa'id, from Abu Abdillah (a.s): Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “You say in the supplication of the two Eids between every two takbirs: ‘Allah (swt) is my Lord (azj) forever, and Islam is my religion forever, and (Prophet) Muhammad (saws) is my Prophet forever, and the Quran is my Book forever, and the Ka'bah is my Qiblah forever, and Imam Ali (a.s) is my Guardian (waliyy) forever, and the Successors (awsiya) are my Imams (a.s) forever and you name them (the Imams (a.s)) until the last of them and none is to be worshipped except Allah (swt)’.”

Hadith 13

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَاتَتْهُ رَكْعَةٌ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ أَيَّامَ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ قَالَ« يُتِمُّ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ يُكَبِّرُ

Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Muhammad ibn Isa from Yunus from al-Ala ibn Razin from Muhammad: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who missed a rak‘ah with the imam (of prayer) from the prayer during the ‘Days of Tashriq’. (meaning 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul Hijjah) Imam (a.s) said: “He completes the prayer and pronounces the takbir.”

Hadith 14

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِلنِّسَاءِ اَلْعَوَاتِقِ فِي اَلْخُرُوجِ فِي اَلْعِيدَيْنِ لِلتَّعَرُّضِ لِلرِّزْقِ

Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from Fadalah from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: The Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, only granted permission to the young unmarried women (al-‘awatiq), to go out on the two Eids for the purpose of seeking provision (al-tarudd lil-rizq).

Hadith 15

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْغُدُوِّ إِلَى اَلْمُصَلَّى فِي اَلْفِطْرِ وَ اَلْأَضْحَى فَقَالَ« بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ اَلشَّمْسِ»

From him, from al-Hasan, from Zur’ah, from Sama’ah, who said: I asked him about going early to the prayer ground on the Day of Fitr and Day of Adha. He said: “After sunrise.”

Hadith 16

عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ قَالَ« اَلصَّلاَةُ قَبْلَ اَلْخُطْبَتَيْنِ وَاَلتَّكْبِيرُ بَعْدَ اَلْقِرَاءَةِ سَبْعٌ فِي اَلْأُولَى وَخَمْسٌ فِي اَلْأَخِيرَةِ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَحْدَثَهَا بَعْدَ اَلْخُطْبَةِ عُثْمَانُ لَمَّا أَحْدَثَ أَحْدَاثَهُ كَانَ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ اَلصَّلاَةِ قَامَ اَلنَّاسُ لِيَرْجِعُوا فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَدَّمَ اَلْخُطْبَتَيْنِ وَ اِحْتَبَسَ اَلنَّاسُ لِلصَّلاَةِ»

From him, from Safwan, from Al-Alaa, from Muhammad, from one of the two Imams (a.s), peace be upon them: Imam (a.s) was asked regarding the prayer of the two Eids. Imam (a.s) said: “The prayer is before the two sermons, and the takbir is after the recitation; seven (takbir) in the first and five (takbir) in the last. The first to innovate placing the sermon before (the prayer) was Uthman (third oppressor), when he introduced his innovations. When Uthman finished the prayer, the people would stand up to leave. When Uthman saw that, he brought the two sermons forward and ‘detained’ the people for the prayer.”

Hadith 17

عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ مَتَى يُذْبَحُ قَالَ« إِذَا اِنْصَرَفَ اَلْإِمَامُ» قُلْتُ فَإِذَا كُنْتُ فِي أَرْضٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِمَامٌ فَأُصَلِّي بِهِمْ جَمَاعَةً فَقَالَ« إِذَا اِسْتَقَلَّتِ اَلشَّمْسُ» وَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تُصَلِّيَ وَحْدَكَ وَ لاَ صَلاَةَ إِلاَّ مَعَ إِمَامٍ»

From him, from Uthman ibn Isa, from Sama'ah, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I said to Imam al-Sadiq (a.s): “When is the sacrifice to be slaughtered?” Imam (a.s) said: “When the (just) imam has finished (the Eid prayer and turned away).” I asked: “What if I am in a land where there is no (just) imam, and I lead them in prayer in congregation?” Imam (a.s) said: “(Do sacrifice) When the sun has risen fully (when it has ascended).” And Imam (a.s) said: “There is no harm in you praying alone, but there is no (valid) prayer except with an (just) imam.”

Hadith 18

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنَّمَا صَلاَةُ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ عَلَى اَلْمُقِيمِ وَ لاَ صَلاَةَ إِلاَّ بِإِمَامٍ»

Sa’ad, from Ahmad, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Fadalah, from Aban, from Zurarah, from one of the two Imams (a.s), peace be upon them, who said: Imam (a.s) said: “Indeed, the prayer of the two Eids is only upon the resident (not the traveller), and there is no (valid) prayer except with an (just) imam.”

Hadith 19

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْكَلاَمِ اَلَّذِي يُتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ اَلتَّكْبِيرَتَيْنِ فِي اَلْعِيدَيْنِ فَقَالَ« مَا شِئْتَ مِنَ اَلْكَلاَمِ اَلْحَسَنِ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Ja’far ibn Bashir, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the two Imams (a.s), peace be upon them, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about the speech that is said between the two takbirs, in the two Eids. Imam (a.s) said: “Whatever good speech you wish (to say).”

Hadith 20

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ شَعِرٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ اَلْغَنَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْخُرُوجُ يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ وَاَلْأَضْحَى إِلَى اَلْجَبَّانَةِ حَسَنٌ لِمَنِ اِسْتَطَاعَ اَلْخُرُوجَ إِلَيْهَا» فَقُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَ يُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَ« لاَ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Yazid ibn Ishaq Sha’ir, from Harun ibn Hamzah al-Ghanawi, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “Going out on the day of Fitr and Adha to the open space (al-jabbana) is good for whoever is able to go out to it.” So I asked: “What do you say if he is sick and not able to go out, should he pray in his house?” Imam (a.s) said, “No.”

Commentary 2

قال محمد بن الحسن معنى قوله لا أي ليس بواجب عليه ذلك وإن كان لو صلى منفردا في بيته إستحق به الثواب على ما قدمنا فيه من الاخبار ويؤكد ما قلناه ما رواه

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan said: “The meaning of Imam (a.s) statement ‘No’ is that it is not obligatory upon him (to do so). Even though if he were to pray individually in his house, he would deserve reward for it, as we have mentioned previously regarding it from the reports.” And what confirms what we have said is what was narrated:

Hadith 21

منصور بن حازم عن ابي عبد الله عليه السلام قال مرض ابي عليه السلام يوم الاضحى فصلى في بيته ركعتين ثم ضحى

Mansur ibn Hazim, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “My father (Imam al-Baqir (a.s)), peace be upon him, became ill on the day of Adha, so He (a.s) prayed two rak‘ahs in his house, then offered the sacrifice.”

Hadith 22

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ تَكْبِيرِ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ أَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَهُ مَعَ كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ أَمْ يُجْزِيهِ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلتَّكْبِيرَةِ فَقَالَ« يَرْفَعُ مَعَ كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Ashyam, from Yunus, who said: I asked him about the takbir in the two Eids, should he raise his hands with each takbir, or is it sufficient that he raises (them) with the first takbir? He said: “He should raise (his hands) with each takbir.”

Hadith 23

عَنْهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ اَلْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمُسَافِرِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ غَيْرِهَا هَلْ عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ اَلْفِطْرِ وَ اَلْأَضْحَى فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ إِلاَّ بِمِنًى يَوْمَ اَلنَّحْرِ»

From him, from Sa’ad ibn Sa’ad al-Ash'ari, from Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam al-Ridha (a.s) about the traveller to Mecca or elsewhere, does he have to perform the prayer of the two Eids; al-Fitr and al-Adha? Imam (a.s) said: “Yes, except in Mina on the ‘Day of Sacrifice’ (Yawm al-Nahr).”

Commentary 3

قال محمد بن الحسن معناه أن ذلك عليه استحبابا بدلالة ما قدمناه من الاخبار ويؤكد ذلك ما رواه

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan said: “Its meaning is that it is upon him as a recommended act (mustahabb), as indicated by what we have presented earlier from the reports”, And this is confirmed by what was narrated:

Hadith 24

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ وَ اَلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لَيْسَ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ جُمُعَةٌ وَ لاَ فِطْرٌ وَ لاَ أَضْحًى»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Hammad ibn Uthman and Khalaf ibn Hammad, from Rub'i ibn Abdillah and Al-Fudayl ibn Yasar, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “There is no (prayer of) Jumu'ah, nor Fitr, nor Adha in travel.”

Hadith 25

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ: «عَلَى اَلرِّجَالِ وَ اَلنِّسَاءِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرُوا أَيَّامَ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ فِي دُبُرِ اَلصَّلَوَاتِ وَ عَلَى مَنْ صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ وَ مَنْ صَلَّى تَطَوُّعاً»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Abu Ja’far, from his father, from Hafs ibn Ghiyath, from his father, from Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam Ali (a.s) said: “It is upon men and women to perform the takbir during the ‘Days of Tashriq’ after the prayers, and (this applies) to the one who prays alone and the one who performs voluntary (nawafil) prayers.”

Hadith 26

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ ذُبْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قَالَ:« يَا عَبْدَ اَللَّهِ مَا مِنْ يَوْمِ عِيدٍ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَضْحًى وَ لاَ فِطْرٍ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يُجَدِّدُ اَللَّهُ لآِلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِيهِ حُزْناً» قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ حَقَّهُمْ فِي أَيْدِي غَيْرِهِمْ»

From him, from Al-Abbas ibn Ma'ruf, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Hanan ibn Sadir, from Abdillah ibn Dhubyan, from Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Baqir (a.s) said: “O Abdillah, there is no day of Eid for the Muslims; neither ‘Adha’ nor ‘Fitr’, except that Allah (swt) renews for the family of (Prophet) Muhammad (saws), peace be upon them, sorrow on that day.” He (Abdillah ibn Dhubyan) said: “I asked, ‘And why is that?’” Imam (a.s) said: “Because they see their right in the hands of others.”

Hadith 27

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ صَلاَةَ فِطْرٍ أَوْ أَضْحًى خَفَضَ مِنْ صَوْتِهِ يُسْمِعُ مَنْ يَلِيهِ لاَ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ وَ اَلْمَوَاعِظُ وَ اَلتَّذْكِرَةُ يَوْمَ اَلْأَضْحَى وَ اَلْفِطْرِ بَعْدَ اَلصَّلاَةِ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn Isa, from Yusuf ibn Aqil, from Muhammad ibn Qays, from Abu Ja’far (a.s): Indeed, when he led the people in the prayer of ‘Fitr’ or ‘Adha’, he would lower his voice so that those near him could hear, and he would not recite the Quran aloud. And the sermons (al-mawa'iz) and the reminders (al-tadhkirah) on the Day of Adha and Fitr are after the prayer.”

Hadith 28

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ يَؤُمُّ اَلرَّجُلُ بِأَهْلِهِ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ فِي اَلسَّطْحِ أَوْ بَيْتٍ قَالَ« لاَ يَؤُمُّ بِهِنَّ وَ لاَ يَخْرُجْنَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى اَلنِّسَاءِ خُرُوجٌ» وَ قَالَ« أَقِلُّوا لَهُنَّ مِنَ اَلْهَيْئَةِ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْأَلْنَ اَلْخُرُوجَ»

From him, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa'id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar ibn Musa al-Sabati, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I said to Imam al-Sadiq (a.s): “May a man lead his family in the prayer of the two Eids on the rooftop or in a house?” Imam (a.s) said: “He should not lead them, and they should not go out, and it is not obligatory upon women to go out.” And Imam (a.s) said: “Minimize for them the appearance (of preparation), so that they do not ask to go out.”

Hadith 29

وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ رَأَيْتَ صَلاَةَ اَلْعِيدَيْنِ هَلْ فِيهِمَا أَذَانٌ وَ إِقَامَةٌ قَالَ« لَيْسَ فِيهِمَا أَذَانٌ وَ لاَ إِقَامَةٌ وَ لَكِنْ يُنَادَى اَلصَّلاَةَ اَلصَّلاَةَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهِمَا مِنْبَرٌ اَلْمِنْبَرُ لاَ يُحَوَّلُ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ وَ لَكِنْ يُصْنَعُ لِلْإِمَامِ شَيْءٌ شِبْهُ اَلْمِنْبَرِ مِنْ طِينٍ فَيَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَخْطُبُ اَلنَّاسَ ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ»

And Isma'il ibn Jabir narrated from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I said to Imam al-Sadiq (a.s): “What do you say about the prayer of the two Eids, do they have adhan and iqamah?” Imam (a.s) said: “There is no adhan and no iqamah in them, but it is called out; 'The prayer, the prayer' three times. And there is no pulpit (minbar) in them, the pulpit is not to be moved from its place. Rather, something like a pulpit made of clay, is constructed for the (just) imam, and he stands upon it and delivers the sermon to the people, then descends.”
