Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5817 — The takbirs of the two Eids

Makhul said: A man who had seen Sa'id bin al-As told me that Sa'id bin al-As once called four of those Companions who had pledged allegiance at the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) under the tree. Sa'id bin al-As asked them about the takbirs of Eid, and they said that there are eight takbirs. The narrator said: I mentioned this to Ibn Sirin, and he said: "He spoke the truth, but he left out the opening takbir (takbir al-tahrimah)."
