Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5828 — The takbirs of the two Eids

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: On the night of Eid, al-Walid bin Uqbah called Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud, Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah and Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with them) and said to them: "Tomorrow is Eid; how are the takbirs to be said?" Sayyiduna Abdullah said: "Say four takbirs while standing, then recite Surah al-Fatihah and a surah from the Mufassal that is neither very long nor very short, then bow. Then, standing, recite, and when you finish the recitation say four takbirs, and bow with the fourth takbir."
