[Machine] "Abdullah ibn Mas'ud used to make takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) nine times before the prayer on both Eids, before the recitation. Then he would make takbir and go into the bowing position, and in the second unit of prayer, he would recite. When he finished, he would make takbir four times and then bow."
