Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr: Some guests visited us, and Abu Bakr was conversing with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at night. He (Abu Bakr) said: I will not return to you until you are free from their entertainment and serving them food. So he brought them food, but they said: We shall not eat it until Abu Bakr comes (back). Abu Bakr then came and asked: What did your guest do? Are you free from their entertainment ? They said: No. I said: I brought them food, but they refused and said: We swear by Allah, we shall not take it until he comes. They said: He spoke the truth. He brought it to us, but we refused (to take it) until you come. He asked: What did prevent you ? He said: I swear by Allah, I shall not take food tonight. They said: And we also swear by Allah that we shall not take food until you take it. He said: I never saw an evil like the one tonight. He said: Bring your food near (you). He (Abdur-Rahman) said: Their food was then brought near them. He said: In the name of Allah, and he took the food, and they also took it. I then informed him that the dawn had broken. So he went to th Prophet ﷺ and informed him of what he and they had done. He said: You are the most obedient and most trustful of them.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The general practice of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was that he would go outside the inhabited area of Madinah Tayyibah for the Eid prayers and would perform the prayer in an open field, which he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had chosen as the Eid ground.

Therefore, the Eid prayers should be performed outside the neighborhood, or village, or if possible, outside the town. In large cities, since it is no longer possible to go outside, the prayer should be performed in a park, school, or college, etc.

(And sakhab was a necklace made from perfume and similar things.)
