Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

5822 - From Hammad, from Ibrahim, that a governor from the governors of Kufa said—Sufyan, one of them said: Sa'id ibn al-As, and the other said: al-Walid ibn 'Uqbah—sent to 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, and 'Abd Allah ibn Qays and said: "This 'Eid has arrived, so what do you think?" They referred the matter to 'Abd Allah, who said: "He says takbir nine times: a takbir to open the prayer, then three takbirs, then he recites a surah, then he says takbir, then he bows, then he stands and recites a surah, then he says four takbirs, bowing with one of them."
