Chapter on the Prayer of the Two Eids

Al-Husayn ibn Said from al-Hasan from Zurah ibn Muhammad from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about the prayer on the Day of Fitr. Imam عليه السلام said: “Two rak’ahs without adhan and without iqamah, and it is proper for the Imam to pray before the sermon. The takbirs in the first rak’ah he says six takbirs, then recites, then says the seventh takbir and bows with it. So that is seven takbirs. Then he stands for the second (rak’ah), and recites, and when he finishes the recitation, he says four takbirs and bows with it. And it is proper for him to humble himself between every two takbirs and to supplicate to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. This is in the prayer of Fitr and Adha equally, and it is the same in all the cities except on the Day of Adha in Mina, for on that day there is neither prayer nor takbir.”
