وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: صَلَاهُ الْعِیدَیْنِ رَکْعَتَانِ لَیْسَ قَبْلَهُمَا وَ لَا بَعْدَهُمَا شَیْ ءٌ. وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَیْنَهَ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لَیْسَ یَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَ لَا یَوْمَ الْأَضْحَی أَذَانٌ وَ لَا إِقَامَهٌ أَذَانُهُمَا طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ خَرَجُوا وَ لَیْسَ قَبْلَهُمَا وَ لَا بَعْدَهُمَا صَلَاهٌ وَ مَنْ لَمْ یُصَلِّ مَعَ إِمَامٍ فِی جَمَاعَهٍ فَلَا صَلَاهَ لَهُ وَ لَا قَضَاءَ عَلَیْهِ.

7. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Fadhalah from Ibn Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s) who said: “There is no Azaan or Iqamah for Salaat of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-e-Qurban. Sunrise is their Azaan. As soon as sun rises, people should come out of their houses for Salaat. There is no Salaat before these two prayers. For one who does not pray these prayers in congregation no prayer is obligatory on him nor he has to offer their Qaza.”
