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

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] .

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):

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].

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):
