Sahih Muslim, 878 a
sahih

Nu'man b. Bashir reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite on two 'Ids and in Friday prayer:

" Glorify The name of Your Lord, the Most High" (Surah lxxxvii.), and:" Has there come to you the news of the overwhelming event" (lxxxviii.). And when the 'Id and Jumu'a combined on a day he recited these two (surah) in both the prayers.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ جَمِيعًا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، - عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ، سَالِمٍ مَوْلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ وَفِي الْجُمُعَةِ بِـ ‏{‏ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى‏}‏ وَ ‏{‏ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ‏}‏ قَالَ وَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ الْعِيدُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا أَيْضًا فِي الصَّلاَتَيْنِ.

The best guidance is that of Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) transmitted his guidance in everything. Among them is the Hadīth narrated by An-Nu‘mān ibn Bashīr (may Allah be pleased with him) about what the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in the prayers of the two Eids and Friday. He said that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in the prayer of Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Ad'ha, and in the Friday prayer: the Surah of {Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High} and the Surah of {Has there come to you the story of the Overwhelming Event?} The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) probably chose these two Surahs because they contain mention of the affairs of the Hereafter and the promise of reward and the threat of punishment, which are appropriate for people in such a well-attended prayer. If Eid and Friday fell on the same day, he would also recite these two Surahs in the two prayers, to make prayer light for people. And in it: It is recommended to recite the Surah of {Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High} and the Surah of {Has there come to you the story of the Overwhelming Event?} on the two Eids and Friday..
