Abdur Rahman bin Rafi’ Hadrami (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) at the Eidgah on the day of Eid al-Fitr. On one side of him was his son. He said to his son, “Do you know what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do on this day?” He replied, “I do not know.” Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the prayer before the sermon.”
