A. Hadhrat Ibn Abbas (Radi Allah Anho) reported: " I participated in the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer with the Messenger of Allah Taa’la, Hadhrat Muhammad-ur Rasullullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radi Allah Anho), Hadhrat Umar (Radi Allah Anho) and Hadhrat Uthman (Radi Allah Anho) and all of them held Eid prayer before Khutbah and then the Holy Prophet, Hadhrat Muhammad -ur Rasullullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) delivered the Khutbah (sermon)."   (Muslim)
