1572. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin As-Sā'ib that the Prophet ﷺ offered the 'Eid prayer and said: "Whoever would like to leave, let him leave, and whoever would like to stay for the Khutbah, let him stay." (Ḥasan)

Arabic text

1571 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى الْعِيدَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُقِيمَ لِلْخُطْبَةِ فَلْيُقِمْ»

Commentary

Listening to the 'Eid sermon is not obligatory; it is recommended or desirable. It is perhaps for this reason that the sermon has been made to occur after the prayer; so that one who wants to depart may do so, unlike the Friday sermon, where the one who arrives before the prayer, shall requisitely listen to the sermon.
