Ubaid Allah bin Abdullah bin Utbah bin Masud said: Umar bin al-Khattab asked Abu Waqid al-Laithi: What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite during the prayer on the day of sacrifice and on the breaking of the fast ? He replied: He recited at both of them Surah al-Qaf, "By the Glorious Quran" [50] and the Surah "The Hour is nigh" (54).

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Benefit:

Since Qatadah is a mudallis (one who sometimes omits his source in transmission), a doubt arose that perhaps he did not narrate directly from Anas radi Allahu anhu. After the explicit mention of hearing (sama‘), this doubt was removed.

Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
It is established from this hadith that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to recite Surah "Qaf" in the first rak‘ah of the Eid prayer and Surah "Al-Qamar" in the second rak‘ah. Whereas in another hadith, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would recite Surah Al-A‘la in the first rak‘ah and Surah Al-Ghashiyah in the second rak‘ah of the Friday prayer and the Eid prayer. [صحيح مسلم بصلوة المسافرين : 878]
The scholars should give due importance to the prescribed (masnun) recitation.
