Greeting Each Other
Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum - may Allah accept deeds from us and from you.
It has been narrated (in Fath Al-Bari, commentary on Saheeh Al-Bukhari) that the Companions of the Prophet (SAWS), when meeting each other on the day of Eid, used to say: Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum
Recommended Measures For The`Eid Prayer
It is recommended not to eat anything on `Eid al-Adha until one performs the prayer, though one should eat an odd number of dates before the prayer on `Eid al-Fitr.
It is recommended to perform the purificatory bath (ghusl) after dawn, even if one does not attend the prayer, though it may be performed from midnight on.
It is recommended to wear perfume, dress one's best, for young boys to come in their good clothes.
It is sunna:
(1) to come early after the dawn prayer on foot;
(2) to return home by a different route
(3) for the imam to delay his arrival until the time of the prayer
(4) and to call the people to prayer with the words "The prayer is gathering," as one also does for the eclipse prayer and the drought prayer.
The Prayer On The Two `Eids
( Meaning `Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan, and `Eid al-Adha on 10 Dhul Hijja.)
The prayer on the two `Eids is a confirmed sunna and is recommended to be prayed in a group.
Its time begins at sunrise, and it is recommended to take place after the sun is a spear's length above the horizon until noon.
It is best to perform it in the mosque if there is room, though if there is not, then it is better to hold it outdoors.
