عَنْ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ الْخَيَّاطِ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ مَعَ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ الْفِطْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَسَأَلَهُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ فَصَلَّى يَوْمَئِذٍ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ
Abu Yaqub Khayyat says: I was present with Mus'ab bin Zubair in Madinah Munawwarah on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr prayer. He sent a message to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform this prayer. He informed that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the prayer before the sermon. So, he also performed the prayer before the sermon on that day.
