The Book of Prayer

Abu Dawud has reported similarly from Abu Bakrah (RA).

وَمِثْلُهُ لِأَبِي دَاوُدَ, عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Hudhaifah (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) performed Salatal-Khauf leading these (Companions) in one Rak'ah and those (other Companions) in one Rak'ah, and they did not make up the second Rak'ah. [Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i. Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ: { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-صَلَّى صَلَاةَ اَلْخَوْفِ بِهَؤُلَاءِ رَكْعَةً, وَبِهَؤُلَاءِ رَكْعَةً, وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ, وَصَحَّحَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ [1]‏ .‏

Ibn Khuzaimah has reported it similarly from Ibn 'Abbas (RA).

وَمِثْلُهُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ: عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The prayer in time of danger is one Rak'ah, in whatever manner it is (performed)." [al-Bazzar reported it through a weak chain of narrators].

وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ صَلَاةُ اَلْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةٌ عَلَى أَيِّ وَجْهٍ كَانَ } رَوَاهُ اَلْبَزَّارُ بِإِسْنَادٍ ضَعِيفٍ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated [Ibn 'Umar (RA)]:

(This Hadith is) attributed to the Prophet (ﷺ) "There is no Sahw (prostration for forgetfulness) in the prayer in time of danger." [ad-Daraqutni reported it through a weak chain of narrators].

وَعَنْهُ مَرْفُوعًا: { لَيْسَ فِي صَلَاةِ اَلْخَوْفِ سَهْوٌ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ بِإِسْنَادٍ ضَعِيفٍ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Aishah (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "('Eid) al-Fitr is the day on which the people break the fast, and ('Eid) al-Adha is the day the people offer sacrifices." [Reported by at-Tirmidhi].

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ الْفِطْرُ يَوْمَ يُفْطِرُ اَلنَّاسُ, وَالْأَضْحَى يَوْمَ يُضَحِّي اَلنَّاسُ } رَوَاهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu 'Umair bin Anas bin Malik (RA) on the authority of some of his paternal uncles who were among the Companions, that some riders came and testified that they had seen the new moon the previous day. The Prophet (ﷺ) therefore commanded the people to break the fast and go out to their place of prayer in the morning. [Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud. This is Abu Dawud's wording and its Isnad is Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ, عَنْ عُمُومَةٍ لَهُ مِنَ اَلصَّحَابَةِ, { أَنَّ رَكْبًا جَاءُوا, فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوُا الْهِلَالَ بِالْأَمْسِ, فَأَمَرَهُمْ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا, وَإِذَا أَصْبَحُوا يَغْدُوا إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُمْ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏-وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ‏- وَإِسْنَادُهُ صَحِيحٌ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Anas (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would not go out on the day of the breaking of the fast till he ate some dates, which he used to eat in odd numbers. [al-Bukhari reported it].

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-لَا يَغْدُو يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ تَمَرَاتٍ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ [1]‏ .‏

A Mu'allaq narration (broken chain from the side of the Hadith collector, i.e. al-Bukhari) - but connected by Ahmad - has:

"and he used to them one by one."

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ مُعَلَّقَةٍ ‏-وَوَصَلَهَا أَحْمَدُ‏-: وَيَأْكُلُهُنَّ أَفْرَادًا [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Ibn Buraidah on the authority of his father:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would not go out on the day of breaking of the fast till he had some food, and he would not to take any food on the day of sacrifice till he had prayed (the 'Eid prayer). [Reported by Ahmad and at-Tirmidhi; Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ, عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: { كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-لَا يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ, وَلَا يَطْعَمُ يَوْمَ اَلْأَضْحَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, وَصَحَّحَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Umm 'Atiyah (RA):

We were commanded to bring out on 'Eidul-Fitr and 'Eidul-Adha, the young women and the menstruating women to participate in the goodness and supplications of the Muslims. However, the menstruating women would refrain from the (actual) place of prayer. [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: { أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ اَلْعَوَاتِقَ, وَالْحُيَّضَ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ; يَشْهَدْنَ الْخَيْرَ وَدَعْوَةَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ, وَيَعْتَزِلُ اَلْحُيَّضُ اَلْمُصَلَّى } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Abu Bakr and 'Umar (RA) used to offer the 'Eid prayer before the Khutbah (religious talk - sermon). [Agreed upon].

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: { كَانَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ, وَعُمَرُ: يُصَلُّونَ الْعِيدَيْنِ قَبْلَ اَلْخُطْبَةِ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) offered two Rak'at on the day of 'Eid, and did not pray before or after them. [Reported by as-Sab'ah].

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-صَلَّى يَوْمَ اَلْعِيدِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ, لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلَا بَعْدَهَا } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلسَّبْعَةُ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated [Ibn 'Abbas (RA)]:

The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the 'Eid prayer without an Adhan or an Iqamah. [Reported by Abu Dawud].

وَعَنْهُ: { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-صَلَّى اَلْعِيدَ بِلَا أَذَانٍ, وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ [1]‏ .‏

And its basic meaning is in al-Bukhari.

وَأَصْلُهُ فِي اَلْبُخَارِيِّ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Sa'id (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) never used to offer any prayer before the 'Eid prayer. But when he went back home, he used to pray two Rak'at. [Reported by Ibn Majah through a Hasan (good) chain of narrators].

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-لَا يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ اَلْعِيدِ شَيْئًا, فَإِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ } رَوَاهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَهْ بِإِسْنَادٍ حَسَنٍ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated [Abu Sa'id (RA)]:

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to go out on the day of the breaking of the fast and the day of sacrifice to the place of prayer, and the first thing he would start with was the prayer. When he finished he would stand facing the people, who were seated in their rows, and he would then preach to them and command them. [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ وَالْأَضْحَى إِلَى اَلْمُصَلَّى, وَأَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ يَبْدَأُ بِهِ اَلصَّلَاةُ, ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَقُومُ مُقَابِلَ اَلنَّاسِ ‏-وَالنَّاسُ عَلَى صُفُوفِهِمْ‏- فَيَعِظُهُمْ وَيَأْمُرُهُمْ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father on the authority of his grand father:

The Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The Takbir in ('Eid) al-Fitr prayer are seven in the first Rak'ah and five in the second, and the recitation of the Qur'an in both is after the Takbir." [Reported by Abu Dawud].

وَعَنْ عَمْرِوِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ نَبِيُّ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ اَلتَّكْبِيرُ فِي اَلْفِطْرِ سَبْعٌ فِي اَلْأُولَى وَخَمْسٌ فِي اَلْآخِرَةِ, وَالْقِرَاءَةُ بَعْدَهُمَا كِلْتَيْهِمَا } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ [1]‏ .‏

at-Tirmidhi transmitted its Tashih (grading of authenticity) from al-Bukhari.

وَنَقَلَ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ عَنِ اَلْبُخَارِيِّ تَصْحِيحَهُ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Waqid al-Laithi (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite on ('Eid) al-Adha and ('Eid) al-Fitr, Surat Qaf (Chapter 50) and Surat Al-Qamar (Chapter 54). [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ: { كَانَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-يَقْرَأُ فِي اَلْأَضْحَى وَالْفِطْرِ بِـ (ق)‏, وَ (اقْتَرَبَتْ)‏.‏ } أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Jabir (RA):

On an 'Eid day, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would return by a different road from the one he had taken when going out (for the 'Eid prayer.) [Reported by al-Bukhari].

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ اَلْعِيدِ خَالَفَ اَلطَّرِيقَ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ [1]‏ .‏

وَلِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ, نَحْوُهُ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Anas (RA) that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to al-Madinah, the people had two days on which they engaged in games. He (ﷺ) said:

"Allah has substituted for you something better than them: the day of sacrifice and the day of breaking the fast." [Reported by Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i; with a Sahih Isnad (authentic chain)].

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: { قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-اَلْمَدِينَةَ, وَلَهُمْ يَوْمَانِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِيهِمَا.‏ فَقَالَ: "قَدْ أَبْدَلَكُمُ اَللَّهُ بِهِمَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمَا: يَوْمَ اَلْأَضْحَى, وَيَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيحٍ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Ali (RA):

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA):

It rained on an 'Eid day, so the Prophet (ﷺ) led them (the people) in the 'Eid prayer in the mosque. [Reported by Abu Dawud with a Laiyin Isnad (weak chain)].
