It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said twelve takbeers in the Eid prayer: seven in the first rak’ah and five in the second rak’ah, and he did not perform any (nafl) prayer before or after Eid. Abdullah bin Ahmad says: My father, Imam Ahmad, said: And this is also my school of thought (that twelve takbeers should be said).

Abu Aisha, the companion of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), says: Sayyiduna Saeed bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) called Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ashari and Sayyiduna Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with them both) and asked: How did the Messenger of Allah say the takbeers in the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers? Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (In each rak’ah) he would say four takbeers, just like the takbeers of the funeral prayer. Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) confirmed his statement.
