حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " خَرَجَ عُمَرُ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ ؟ ، قَالَ : بِـقَ وَاقْتَرَبَتْ " .

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would sometimes recite Surah al-Qaf and Surah “Iqtarabat al-Sa‘ah” in the Eid prayers instead of Surah al-A‘la and Surah al-Ghashiyah. This is because in Surah Qaf, after mentioning the greatness of the Noble Qur’an, the resurrection after death is established, and it is explained that vigilant and ever-present angels have been appointed to record people’s deeds and words, and for this purpose, there is a register in which their entries are being made. The depiction of the Day of Judgment is presented. The details of the conditions of the deniers are given, and the honor and elevation of the believers is mentioned. The story of the rise and fall of nations is narrated, the responsibility of the Messenger is described, and the patience and steadfastness required for this is emphasized, along with the exhortation to establish prayer for attaining it. In this way, this Surah is extremely admonishing and full of lessons.
Similarly, in Surah “Iqtarabat al-Sa‘ah,” by mentioning the conditions and events of various nations, guidance is given to take lessons from their outcomes, and it is explained that the Noble Qur’an is adorned from every aspect for admonition, advice, and remembrance, so you should benefit from it and make your end good.

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.
