Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Walid bin Uqbah invited Ibn Mas’ud, Abu Mas’ud, Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them), and Abu Musa Ash’ari on the night of Eid and asked them, “Tomorrow is Eid, how should the Takbirs be recited?” Abdullah (Ibn Mas’ud) replied, “You should say four Takbirs in standing (qiyam), then recite Surah Al-Fatihah and any surah from the Mufassal which is neither too long nor too short, then perform ruku’. Then, in the standing (qiyam), recite (again), and when you finish the recitation, say four Takbirs, and on the fourth Takbir, go into ruku’.”
