English translation
5572. Abū ‘Ubaid said (in continuation of H. No. 5571): Then I witnessed the Eid with ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān, and that was on a Friday. He offered the (Eid) Ṣalāt (prayer) before the Khutba, saying, “O people! Today you have two 'Eids (festivals, i.e., Friday and 'Eid) together, so whoever of those who live at Al-'Awālī (suburbs) would like to wait for the Jumu'ah prayer, he may wait, and whoever would like to return (home) is granted my permission to do so."
