Bathing, perfume and best clothes

Naaf'i reports: "Abdullah Ibn Umar used to bathe on the day of Fitr before setting out to the Musallaa." (Malik (1/177), Ash-Shaafi'ee (73) and Abdur-Razzaaq (5754) and it has an authentic chain of narration)

Imam Ibn Qudamah said, "It is preferred to purify oneself by bathing for Eid. Ibn Umar used to bathe on the day of Fitr. This is also reported upon Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and it is the opinion of 'Urwah, 'Ataa, An-Nakhaa'ee, Ash-Sha'bee, Qatadah Abu Zinaad Malik, Ash-Shaafi'ee and Ibn Mundhir, " (Al-Mughnee, 2/370)

Ibn Al-Qayyim said, "He (peace be upon him) would wear his best clothes when proceeding to the two Eids and the day of jum 'ah." (Zaad-ul-Ma'aad, 1/441)

Eating before prayer

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The Messenger of Allah would not set out in the morning of Eid-Al-Fitr until he had eaten some dates." (Bukhari)

Imam Al-Muhallab said: "The wisdom behind eating before the Eid prayer is so that no person doubts that fasting remains until after the prayer. So it is as if he (peace be upon him) wanted to stop this from occurring." (Fath-ul-Bari, 2/447)

Takbeer in the Eids

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to emerge on the day of Eid-Al-Fitr and say the Takbeer up until he reached the Musallaa and up until he had performed the prayer. So when he had performed the prayer he stopped saying the Takbeer. (Silsilatul Ahadeeth As-Saheehah, 170)

The scholar of Hadeeth Al-Albani said, "This Hadeeth contains evidence of saying the Takbeer aloud on the way to the Musallaa; even though many Muslims have become negligent of this Sunnah to such an extent that it has nearly become a "thing of the past".

Ibn Mas'ud used to say:

"Allahu-Akbar. Allahu-Akbar. Laa ilaaha illallah. Wa-Allahu Akbar. Allahu-Akbaar. Wa lillaahil-Hamd"

(Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. There is none who has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest and to Allah belongs all praise.)

Salmaan Al-Khair (may Allah Pleased with him): "Make takbeer of Allah: Say:

Allahu-Akbar Allahu-Akbar Allahu-Akbar kabeera (Baihaqee)

Saying the Takbeer aloud does not mean that it is permitted to say it in unison, as some people do. Likewise, all other supplications in which raising the voice has or has not been prescribed, then reciting the supplication in unison is not permissible. So be cautious of this and let us always focus upon the fact that the best guidance is the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Different route to and fro the Musallaa



Jabir Bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "When it was the day of Eid the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to alter his route (of returning)." (Bukhari)

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawzeeyah said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to change his route on the days of Eid, such that he went by one route and returned by another. According to the most correct opinion, he did this to make manifest the rituals of Islam." (Zaad-ul-Ma'aad, 1/449)

Praying Eid Musallaa

Aboo Sa'eed Al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the days of Eid-Al-Fitr and 'Adhaa, used to go out to the Musallaa and the first thing that he would begin with was the prayer, " (Bukhari and Muslim)

The aim of the prayer in the Musallaa is to gather the great majority of Muslims in one place.

Greeting

The companions when they met each other on Eid would say:

"Taqabbala Allaaha minnaa wa minkum"

May Allah accept it (the worship) from you and us. (Fath Al-Bari)

Eid ul-Fitr

The first day of the Islamic lunar month Shawwaal is the Eid ul-Fitr day marking a day of celebration and thanks for Allah, our Creator and Cherisher. Ramadan ends here. Most Muslim celebarate Eid for at least 3 days.

Here is what the Prophet use to do on the day of Eid, May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him:

1. To rise early in the morning.

2. Take a full bath.

3. Clean the teeth.

4. Wear the best cloths that he had.

5. Wear perfume.

6. To eat something sweet like dates before leaving home.

7. Go to the Eid prayer location very early. (The Prophet use to offer Eid prayer in the central location, that is not to offer it in a mosque of a locality without any legitimate excuse).

8. The Prophet used to go to the Eid Prayer location by one route and will return through another route.

9. He used to go for Eid on foot.

10. He used to chant slowly on the way to the Eid prayer location the following words: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Laa ilaaha illallahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar , Wa lillahil Hamd." (Translation: Allah is the greatest, He is the greatest. There is no god except Allah. He is the greatest. All praises and thanks are for Him)

11. The Prophet used to give Sadqa-e-Fitr (zakatul fitr) for before the Eid day. But if you have not done so please give now before the Eid.

Eid Il Fitri Mubarak

God bless you my good people. Keep it up.
