“I attended the ‘Eid prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He led us in offering the ‘Eid prayer, then he said: ‘I have finished the prayer. Whoever wants to sit (and listen to) the sermon, then let him sit, and whoever wants to leave, then let him leave.’”  

حَضَرْتُ الْعِيدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْعِيدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ قَضَيْنَا الصَّلاَةَ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ لِلْخُطْبَةِ فَلْيَجْلِسْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ فَلْيَذْهَبْ
