Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) came to my house while two girls were singing beside me the songs of Bu'âth (a story about the war between the two tribes of the, the Khazraj and the ' Aus, before Islâm). The Prophet (ﷺ) lay down and turned his face to the other side. Then Abu Bakr came and spoke to me harshly saying, "Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet (ﷺ)?" Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) turned his face towards him and said, "Leave them." When Bakr became inattentive, I signalled to those girls to go out and they left. [2:70-O.B.]

Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ), never proceeded [for the (prayer)] on the day of 'Eid-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Anas also narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to eat odd number of dates. [2:73-O.B]

I heard Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) delivering the Khutba (religious talk). He said, "The first (thing) to do on our this day is to offer the (prayer), and on returning (from the prayer) we slaughter our sacrifices (animal); and whoever did this he acted on our Sunna (legal way) ". [2:75-0.B.]

The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered the Khutba (religious talk) after offering As-Salât (the prayer) on the day of Naḥr and said, 'Whoever offers the Salât (prayer) like us and slaughters like us then his Nusuk (sacrifice) will be accepted by Allâh. And whoever slaughters his sacrifice before the ' Eid prayer then he has no Nusuk (not done the sacrifice)." Burda bin Niyâr, the uncle of Al-Barâ' said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have slaughtered my sheep before the ' Eid prayer and I thought today as a day of eating and drinking (not alcoholic drinks), and I liked that my sheep should be the first to be slaughtered in my house. So I slaughtered my sheep and took my food before coming for As-Salât (the prayer)." The Prophet (ﷺ). said, "The sheep which you have slaughtered is just mutton (not a Nusuk)." He (Burda) said, O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ), I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a Nusuk on my behalf?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, it will be sufficient for you but it will not be sufficient (as a Nusuk) for anyone else after you." [2:75-O.B.]

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to proceed to the Musalla (praying place) on the days of ' Eid-ul-Fitr and ' Eid-ul-Adha; the first thing to begin with was As-Salât (the prayer) and after that he would stand in front of the people and the people would keep sitting in their rows. Then he would preach them, advise them and give them orders. And after that if he wished to send an army for an expedition, he would do so, or if he wanted to give an order, he would do so, and then depart. The people followed this legal way till I went out with Marwân, the governor of Al-Madina, for the Salât (prayer) of ' Eid-ul-Adha or Eid-ul-Fitr. When we reached the Muşalla (praying place), there was a pulpit made by Kathîr bin-Şalt. Marwân wanted to get up on that pulpit before-(the prayer). I got hold of his clothes but he pulled them and ascended the pulpit and delivered the Khutba (religious talk) before the Salât (prayer). I said to him, "By Allâh, you have changed (the Prophet's legal way)." He replied, O Sa'îd ! Gone is that which you know. I said, By Allâh ! What I know is better than what I do not know." Marwân said, People do not sit to listen to our Khutba (religious talk) after-(the prayer), so I delivered the Khutba before-(the prayer)." [2:76-O.B.]
