A Well-known Hadith from Ahadith
الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، صِفَةُ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ أَنْ يَقُومَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيَسْتَفْتِحَ الصَّلَاةَ يَتَوَجَّهُ فِيهَا وَ يُكَبِّرُ تَكْبِيرَةَ الِافْتِتَاحِ فَإِذَا تَوَجَّهَ قَرَأَ الْحَمْدَ وَ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى- ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ قَالَ

When he concentrates, he should recite Surah Al Hamd and Al A’ala, then he should raise his hands with the Takbeer. When he exclaims Takbeer he should say: –
اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ أَهْلَ الْجُودِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ وَ أَهْلَ الْعَفْوِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ أَهْلَ التَّقْوَى وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj, rightful of the Greatness and the Magnificence, and rightful of the Generosity and the Force, and rightful of the Pardon and the Mercy, and rightful of being feared and the Forgiveness!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عِيداً وَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ص ذُخْراً وَ مَزِيداً أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَدْخَلْتَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ أَخْرَجْتَ مِنْهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ
I ask You-azwj by the right of this day which You-azwj have Made it as an Eid for the Muslims and a treasure and an increase for Muhammad-saww, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Insert me into every goodness You-azwj had Inserted Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-asws into, and to Extract me from every evil You-azwj had Extracted Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww from, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww and upon them-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for goodness what Your-azwj righteous servants had asked You-azwj for, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from what Your-azwj righteous servants had sought Refuge from!’
ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى الْمَشْهُورِ وَ ذَكَرَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحاها
Then he-asws mentioned the Salat based upon ‘الْمَشْهُورِ’ the well-known and mentioned in the second (Cycle, Surah) Al Shams’.[1]
