Arabic text

1562 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: «صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عِيدٍ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ»

Commentary

The Adhan and the Iqâmah are legislated for the obligatory prayers; they are not appropriate for the 'Eid. This is because the 'Eid prayer is optional. Moreover, the 'Eid occurs occasionally. It is the occasion of rejoicing and to be full of joy. Everyone ought to go forth for it on his own and arrive at the place of prayer with zeal and fervor, without having any need for the Adhan to be pronounced for it.
