Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 79
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفَضْلِ اَلْهَاشِمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «رَكْعَتَانِ مِنَ اَلسُّنَّةِ لَيْسَ تُصَلَّيَانِ فِي مَوْضِعٍ إِلاَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ تُصَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي اَلْعِيدَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُخْرَجَ إِلَى اَلْمُصَلَّى لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَعَلَهُ.
Muhammad ibn al-Fadl al-Hashimi narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "There are two (units of prayer) from the Sunnah that are not performed in any place except in Medina, and they are prayed in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم on the two Eids before going out to the prayer ground. This is unique to Medina because the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم performed it”.
