Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5705 — Eating on the day of Fitr before going

Yahya bin Abi Ishaq said: On the day of Eid al-Fitr I came to Safwan bin Muhriz and sat at his door. Then he came out and, as if apologising, said: "On this day it used to be ordered that a man eat something before going out for Eid. I have eaten something, and that is what held me back. As for the other Eid (Eid al-Adha), the morning meal is taken after the Eid prayer."
