رَوَى سَعِيدٌ اَلنَّقَّاشُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَمَا إِنَّ فِي اَلْفِطْرِ تَكْبِيراً وَ لَكِنَّهُ مَسْنُونٌ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ «فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلْفِطْرِ فِي اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ اَلْعِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْفَجْرِ وَ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْعِيدِ» وَ فِي غَيْرِ رِوَايَةِ سَعِيدٍ «وَ فِي اَلظُّهْرِ وَ اَلْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ تَقْطَعُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَقُولُ قَالَ «تَقُولُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ اَلْحَمْدُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا أَبْلاَنَا وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « وَ لِتُكْمِلُوا اَلْعِدَّةَ» يَعْنِي اَلصِّيَامَ: وَ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اَللّٰهَ عَلىٰ مٰا هَدٰاكُمْ ».
It is narrated by Sa'id al-Naqqash, who said: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said to me: "Indeed, there is Takbir (declaration of Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى greatness) associated with Eid al-Fitr, but it is a recommended Sunnah." Sa'id said: "I asked: Where is it to be performed?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "On the night of Eid al-Fitr during the Maghrib (sunset prayer) and the Isha (night prayer), during the Fajr (dawn prayer), and during the Eid prayer." In another narration (not from Sa'id), it is also reported: "And during the Zuhr (noon prayer) and Asr (afternoon prayer), and then it ends." Sa'id said: "I asked: How should I say it?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lillahi al-hamd. Allahu Akbar for what He has guided us to, and al-hamdulillah for what He has bestowed upon us." This is the statement of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic: “And complete the prescribed period (of fasting), and glorify Allah for having guided you.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:185).

وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّهُ لاَ يُقَالُ فِيهِ وَ رَزَقَنَا مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ اَلْأَنْعَامِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِي أَيَّامِ اَلتَّشْرِيقِ ».
It is narrated: "It is not said in it (the Takbir for Eid al-Fitr), 'and He provided us with the livestock of cattle,' as that phrase pertains to the days of Tashreeq (the days following Eid al-Adha)."

وَ رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ اَلنَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ اَلْمَغْفِرَةَ تَنْزِلُ عَلَى مَنْ صَامَ، شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ اَلْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ «يَا حَسَنُ إِنَّ اَلْقَارِيجَارَ إِنَّمَا يُعْطَى أُجْرَتَهُ عِنْدَ فَرَاغِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ لَيْلَةُ اَلْعِيدِ » قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَعْمَلَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ «إِذَا غَرَبَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ صَلَّيْتَ اَلثَّلاَثَ مِنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ اِرْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَ قُلْ: يَا ذَا اَلطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا اَلْحَوْلِ يَا مُصْطَفِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ نَاصِرَهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اِغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ وَ نَسِيتُهُ أَنَا وَ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ وَ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اَللَّهِ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ وَ تَسْأَلُ حَوَائِجَكَ.
It is narrated from Al-Qasim ibn Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hasan ibn Rashid, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "People say that forgiveness descends upon those who fast during the Month of Ramadan on the Night of Qadr." Imam عليه السلام replied: "O Hasan, the wage-earner is only given his reward when he has completed his work, and that is on the Night of Eid." I asked: "May I be your ransom! What should we do on that night?" Imam عليه السلام said: "When the sun sets, pray the three units of Maghrib prayer, raise your hands, and say: 'O Possessor of grace, O Possessor of power, O One who chose Muhammad and supported him, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and forgive me every sin I have committed and forgotten, though it is recorded with You in a clear Book.' Then prostrate, and while prostrating, say a hundred times: 'I repent to Allah سبحانه وتعالى.' And while in prostration, ask for your needs."
