Abu Dawud has reported similarly from Abu Bakrah (RA).

The Prophet (ﷺ) performed Salatal-Khauf leading these (Companions) in one Rak'ah and those (other Companions) in one Rak'ah, and they did not make up the second Rak'ah. .

Ibn Khuzaimah has reported it similarly from Ibn 'Abbas (RA).

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The prayer in time of danger is one Rak'ah, in whatever manner it is (performed)." .

(This Hadith is) attributed to the Prophet (ﷺ) "There is no Sahw (prostration for forgetfulness) in the prayer in time of danger." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "('Eid) al-Fitr is the day on which the people break the fast, and ('Eid) al-Adha is the day the people offer sacrifices." .

Narrated Abu 'Umair bin Anas bin Malik (RA) on the authority of some of his paternal uncles who were among the Companions, that some riders came and testified that they had seen the new moon the previous day. The Prophet (ﷺ) therefore commanded the people to break the fast and go out to their place of prayer in the morning. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would not go out on the day of the breaking of the fast till he ate some dates, which he used to eat in odd numbers. .

"and he used to them one by one."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would not go out on the day of breaking of the fast till he had some food, and he would not to take any food on the day of sacrifice till he had prayed (the 'Eid prayer). .

We were commanded to bring out on 'Eidul-Fitr and 'Eidul-Adha, the young women and the menstruating women to participate in the goodness and supplications of the Muslims. However, the menstruating women would refrain from the (actual) place of prayer. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Abu Bakr and 'Umar (RA) used to offer the 'Eid prayer before the Khutbah (religious talk - sermon). .

The Prophet (ﷺ) offered two Rak'at on the day of 'Eid, and did not pray before or after them. .

The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the 'Eid prayer without an Adhan or an Iqamah. .

And its basic meaning is in al-Bukhari.

The Prophet (ﷺ) never used to offer any prayer before the 'Eid prayer. But when he went back home, he used to pray two Rak'at. .

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to go out on the day of the breaking of the fast and the day of sacrifice to the place of prayer, and the first thing he would start with was the prayer. When he finished he would stand facing the people, who were seated in their rows, and he would then preach to them and command them. .

The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The Takbir in ('Eid) al-Fitr prayer are seven in the first Rak'ah and five in the second, and the recitation of the Qur'an in both is after the Takbir." .

at-Tirmidhi transmitted its Tashih (grading of authenticity) from al-Bukhari.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite on ('Eid) al-Adha and ('Eid) al-Fitr, Surat Qaf (Chapter 50) and Surat Al-Qamar (Chapter 54). .

On an 'Eid day, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would return by a different road from the one he had taken when going out (for the 'Eid prayer.) .

Abu Dawud has a similar report from Ibn 'Umar (RA).

"Allah has substituted for you something better than them: the day of sacrifice and the day of breaking the fast." .

It is Sunnah to go to the 'Eid (prayer) walking. .

It rained on an 'Eid day, so the Prophet (ﷺ) led them (the people) in the 'Eid prayer in the mosque. .

That there was a solar eclipse in the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day his son Ibrahim died. The people said, "The eclipse of the sun has happened due to the death of Ibrahim." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs; they are not eclipsed due to the death or the life of anyone. So when you see them (the eclipse of the moon or sun) supplicate to Allah and offer prayers until the eclipse is over." .

"till it becomes bright."

Pray and supplicate (to Allah) till (the eclipse) is over."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited (from the Qur'an) in an audible voice in the prayer at an eclipse, and prayed two Rak'at in which he bowed four times and prostrated four times." .

"He (ﷺ) sent an announcer to announce: The prayer is (to be offered) in congregation".

There was an eclipse of the sun in the life-time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and then he prayed and stood for a long time, about as long as it would take to recite Surat al-Baqarah. Then, he bowed for a long time, and then he raised his head and stood for a long time, which was less than the first standing. Then, he bowed again for a long time, which was less than the first bowing. Then, he prostrated (twice) and then he stood for a long time, which was less than the first time standing. Then, he bowed for a long time, which was less than the first bowing. Then, he raised his head and stood up for a long time, which was less than the first standing. Then, he bowed for a long time, which was less than the first bowing. Then he prostrated (twice), and then he finished (the prayer), and the sun had become bright. He then delivered a Khutbah (religious talk, sermon). .

"When there was an eclipse of the sun, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed eight bowings with four prostrations (in a two Rak'ah prayer for Eclipse)".

Muslim reported from 'Ali (RA) similarly.

"He performed six bowings with four prostrations (in a two Rak'ah prayer for Eclipse)."

"He prayed (the Eclipse prayer) and bowed five times and prostrated twice (in the first Rak'ah), and in the second Rak'a he also did the same."

No wind ever blew without the Prophet (ﷺ) getting down on his knees and saying, "O Allah, make it a mercy and do not make it a punishment." .

He prayed during an earthquake six bowings and four prostrations, and said, "This is the way the Prayer of the Signs (of Allah) is offered. .

ash-Shafi'i reported a similar Hadith without its end through 'Ali bin Abu Talib (RA).

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out (of al-Madinah, to pray for rain) humbling (himself), wearing rough clothes, submissive, walking slowly, supplicating (Allah). Then, he offered two Rak'at in the same way he prayed 'Eid, but did not deliver your kind of Khutbah (religious talk, sermon). .

The people complained to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of the lack of rain. So, he gave orders for a minbar, which was put for him at the prayer place. He then fixed a day for the people to come out. And he (ﷺ) came out when the edge of the sun appeared, sat down on the Minbar pronounced the greatness of Allah and expressed His praise. Then, he said, "You have complained of drought in your abodes. Allah has ordered you to supplicate Him, and promised that He would answer (your supplications)." Then he (ﷺ) said: All Praise is due to Allah, the Rabb (Lord) of the universe, the Compassionate, the Merciful, the Master of the Day of Judgement; nothing deserves to be worshipped except Allah, Who does what He wills. O Allah! You are Allah, nothing deserves to be worshipped except You; You are the Rich, and we are the poor; send down rain upon us and make what You send down strength and satisfaction for a time." He (ﷺ) then raised his hands and kept rising them till the whiteness of his armpits was visible. He then turned his back to the people and inverted his cloak while keeping his hands raised. He (ﷺ) then faced the people, descended and prayed two Rak'at. Then, Allah produced a cloud and storms of thunder and lightning came and the rain fell. .

"He (ﷺ) faced the Qiblah making supplication. Then, he prayed two Rak'at, reciting (the Qur'an) in them audibly."

"He (ﷺ) turned his cloak round, so that the drought may turn [from dry land to rained land).

The Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Khutbah (religious talk, sermon) while standing on a Friday when a man came into the mosque and said, "O Messenger of Allah! The livestock have died and the roads are cut off, so supplicate Allah to send us down rain." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) raised his hands and then said, "O Allah! send us down rain, O Allah! send us down rain, O Allah! send us down rain." And the reporter mentioned the complete Hadith, which contains supplication to stop the rain. .

When they experienced drought 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) used to seek rain by asking al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib (RA) to supplicate Allah for rain. He ('Umar) would say: 'O Allah, we used to ask our Prophet (RA) to supplicate to You for rain, and You would give us rain. We are now asking our Prophet's uncle to supplicate to You for rain, so give us rain." They would then be given rain. .

Rain fell upon us while we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He opened his garment till some of the rain fell upon him. He then said, "It has only recently been created by its Rabb." .

When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw rain he said, "O Allah, (send down) a beneficial downpour." .

The Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated (Allah) for rain saying, "O Allah, cover all the land with accumulated, thundering, plunging and lightening clouds from which You would send us down a showery, drizzly, and pouring rain. O Possessor of Glory and Honour." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Sulaiman (AS) (Solomon - Peace be upon him) went out to pray for rain, and he saw an ant lying on its back, raising its legs to the sky saying: "O Allah, we are creatures among your creatures, we cannot live without your water." He said (to his companions), "Go back, for you have been given water through the supplication of others." .

The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed for rain pointing the back of his palms to the sky. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "There will be among my followers some people who will consider dultery (al-Hir) and the use of silk (al-Harir) lawful." .
