Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5829 — The takbirs of the two Eids

Kardus said: Sa'id bin al-As arrived in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah and called Sayyiduna Abdullah, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah, Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari and Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with them) and asked them about the takbirs of Eid. All of them referred the matter to Sayyiduna Abdullah, and he said: "Say a takbir while standing, then say a takbir, then say a takbir, then say a takbir and recite, then say a takbir and bow. Then rise for the next rak'ah and recite, then say a takbir, then say a takbir, then say a takbir, then say a takbir and go into bowing."
