حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ سَأَلَ أَبَا وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيّ : " مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ بِهِ فِي الْفِطْرِ وَالْأَضْحَى ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِ ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ وَ اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utbah narrated:` "Umar bin Al-Khattab asked Abu Waqid Al-Laithi what Allah's Messenger would recite during Al-Fitr and Al-Adha, so he said: 'He would recite: Qaf, By the Glorious Quran and the Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder.'"

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Benefit:

Since Qatadah is a mudallis (one who sometimes omits his source in transmission), a doubt arose that perhaps he did not narrate directly from Anas radi Allahu anhu. After the explicit mention of hearing (sama‘), this doubt was removed.

Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
It is established from this hadith that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to recite Surah "Qaf" in the first rak‘ah of the Eid prayer and Surah "Al-Qamar" in the second rak‘ah. Whereas in another hadith, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would recite Surah Al-A‘la in the first rak‘ah and Surah Al-Ghashiyah in the second rak‘ah of the Friday prayer and the Eid prayer. [صحيح مسلم بصلوة المسافرين : 878]
The scholars should give due importance to the prescribed (masnun) recitation.
