Hadith 886
وحَدَّثَنِي وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَا : لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤَذَّنُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَلَا يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى ، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ بَعْدَ حِينٍ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَخْبَرَنِي ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، " أَنْ لَا أَذَانَ لِلصَّلَاةِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ الْإِمَامُ ، وَلَا بَعْدَ مَا يَخْرُجُ ، وَلَا إِقَامَةَ وَلَا نِدَاءَ وَلَا شَيْءَ لَا نِدَاءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةَ " .
Ibn 'Abbas and Jaibir bin 'Abdullah al-Ansari reported: There was no Adhan on the (occasion) of Id-ul-Fitr and Id-ul-Adha. I (Ibn Juraij) said: I asked him after some time about it. He ('Ata', one of the narrators) said: Jabir bin 'Abdullah al-Ansari told me: There is neither any Adhan on Id-ul-Fitr when the Imam comes out, nor even after his coming out; their is neither lqama nor call nor anything of the sort of calling on that day and nor Iqama.

'Ata' reported that Ibn 'Abbas sent (him) to Ibn Zubair at the commencement of the oath of allegiance to him (for Caliphate saying): As there is no Adhan on 'Id-ul-Fitr, so you should not pronounce it. Ibn Zubair did not pronounce Adhan on that day. He (Ibn 'Abbas) also sent him (with this message) that sermon (is to be delivered) after the prayer, and thus it was done. So ibn Zubair observed prayer before Khutbah.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
➊ According to the Hanbalis, the Eid prayers are a communal obligation (fard kifayah). According to the Malikis and Shafi'is, it is an emphasized Sunnah (sunnah mu’akkadah), and according to the Hanafis, it is obligatory (wajib). However, like the Friday prayer, it is obligatory upon the residents of the city, not upon the villagers.
➋ There is neither adhan (call to prayer) nor iqamah (second call) for the Eid prayers. In the Eid prayer, before the recitation in the first rak‘ah, according to the Malikis and Hanbalis, there are seven takbirs including the opening takbir (takbir al-tahrimah), and according to the Shafi‘is, there are seven takbirs excluding the opening takbir. In the second rak‘ah, according to the three Imams, there are five takbirs before the recitation while standing. According to the Hanafis, after the opening takbir in the first rak‘ah, there are three takbirs before the recitation, and in the second rak‘ah, after the recitation, there are three takbirs, and the fourth takbir is for bowing (ruku‘). The preferred opinion is that in the first rak‘ah, seven takbirs should be said in addition to the opening takbir.
➌ The sermon (khutbah) of Eid is, contrary to Jumu‘ah, after the prayer. In it, admonition, advice, and reminders are given according to the occasion and context. If the voice does not reach the women, because they participate in Eid slightly behind and separate from the men, then after the men, the women should be given special admonition and advice according to their circumstances and conditions, and they should be especially encouraged to give charity. They are permitted to give charity from their jewelry without the permission of their husbands. Nowadays, due to loudspeakers, there is no need for a separate admonition.
➍ For Eid, there is no need for adhan, iqamah, or any announcement, etc. Muslims themselves must make arrangements and participate in this festival and joyous celebration on their own.
