حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مُؤَذِّنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ : فِي الْأُولَى سَبْعًا قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ ، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
This is a particular characteristic of the Eid prayer:
That in it, in addition to the takbirs recited in other prayers, additional takbirs are also recited.
These are called "takbirat-e-zawaid" or extra takbirs.
That is, those takbirs which are recited in the Eid prayer in addition to the takbirs of other prayers.

(2)
The number of extra takbirs is seven in the first rak‘ah and five in the second rak‘ah.

(3)
These takbirs are recited before the recitation (qira’ah).

(4)
The opening takbir (takbir tahrimah) is not included among these takbirs.
