1288. Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to go out on the day of 'Eid and lead the people in praying two Rak'ah, then he would say the Salâm and stand on his two feet facing the people while they were sitting down. He would say: 'Give in charity. Give in charity.' Those who gave most in charity were the women, (they would give) earrings and rings and things. If he wanted to send out an expedition he would mention it, otherwise he would leave." (Sahih)

Commentary
Rather than praying in mosques, the 'Eid prayer must be held in open places. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ preferred an open place over his own blessed mosque to lead the congregation of the 'Eid prayer.
The sermon must follow (not precede) the 'Eid prayer.
The sermon should, in appropriate manner, deal with the problems of the day.
A woman can give her personal items and effects in charity without the permission of her husband.
The sermon must be listened to, while sitting down, with due attention. However, should anyone wish to leave it, he may.
