[Machine] Saeed bin Al-Aas asked Abu Musa and Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to say the takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) during Eid Al-Adha and Eid Al-Fitr. Abu Musa said he used to say the takbeer four times during funeral prayers. Hudhaifa confirmed this and said that he also used to say the takbeer four times in Basra, where he was at the time. Abu Aisha also confirmed this, saying that he was present when Saeed bin Al-Aas narrated this hadith. This hadith has been narrated in two different contexts: one is about its elevation and the other is in response to Abu Musa. The well-known version of this story is that they referred their matter to Ibn Masood, who issued a fatwa accordingly, but it is not attributed directly to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .  

أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ سَأَلَ أَبَا مُوسَى وَحُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُ فِي الْأَضْحَى وَالْفِطْرِ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعًا تَكْبِيرَهُ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ صَدَقَ وَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى كَذَلِكَ كُنْتُ أُكَبِّرُ بِالْبَصْرَةِ حَيْثُ كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَائِشَةَ وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَدْ خُولِفَ رَاوِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي مَوْضِعَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا فِي رَفْعِهِ وَالْآخَرُ فِي جَوَابِ أَبِي مُوسَى وَالْمَشْهُورُ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ أَسْنَدُوا أَمْرَهُمْ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَفْتَاهُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ بِذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Abdullah gets up and says four takbirs then recites, then bows in the fifth, then gets up and recites then says four takbirs and bows in the fourth.  

عَبْدُ اللهِ تَقُومُ فَتُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ ثُمَّ تَقُومُ فَتَقْرَأُ ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ فَتَرْكَعُ بِالرَّابِعَةِ  

[Machine] Takbeer on both Eids is five in the first and four in the second, and this is the opinion of Abdullah. The authenticated hadith and the practice of the Muslims support following it, and success is from Allah.  

التَّكْبِيرُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ خَمْسٌ فِي الْأُولَى وَأَرْبَعٌ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَهَذَا رَأْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ وَالْحَدِيثُ الْمُسْنَدُ مَعَ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عَمَلِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْلَى أَنْ يُتَّبَعَ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
