1293 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «لَا يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْعِيدِ شَيْئًا، فَإِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ»

Commentary
What we know from the Hadith, is the fact that the Prophet ﷺ did not perform any Nafl (voluntary) prayer, as was mentioned in the previous Hadith, in fact, this means that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not offer any voluntary prayer on the ground chosen for 'Eid prayer. Thus, the Nafl prayer performed on returning home was unrelated to the 'Eid prayer; it was in fact the customary Nafl prayer, good for all days. And Allāh knows best.
