أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَوْفٍ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ
عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ ، بَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِلَا أَذَانٍ ، وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَنْهَى أَنْ يُمْسِكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نُسُكِهِ شَيْئًا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ " .
´It ws narrated that Abu 'Ubaid - the freed slave of Ibn 'Awf - said:` "I saw 'Ali bin Abi Talib - may Allah honor his face on the day of 'Id. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, and then he prayed with no Adhan and no Iqamah. Then he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah forbidding anyone form keeping anything of his sacrificial animal for more than three days." (Sahih )
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) This blessed hadith is a clear proof for the legitimacy of the Eid sermon (khutbah). The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was consistent and constant in delivering the Eid sermon.
(2) From this blessed hadith, it is also understood that the Eid sermon and the Friday (Jumu‘ah) sermon are different from each other. The Eid sermon is delivered after the Eid prayer, whereas the Friday sermon is delivered before the Friday prayer. However, it is legislated to deliver both the Eid and Friday sermons while standing, unless there is a valid Shar‘i (Islamic legal) excuse. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) always delivered the Eid and Friday sermons while standing.
(3) There is neither adhan (call to prayer) nor iqamah (second call to prayer) for the Eid prayers.
