they would say to one another, “May Allah accept from us and from you.” Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal remarked, “Its isnād is good.” He did not specify who transmitted the report, yet al-Suyūṭī likewise attributed it to Ẓāhir with a ḥasan chain from Muḥammad ibn Ziyād al-Alhānī, who said: “I saw Abū Umāmah al-Bāhilī on the day of Eid saying to his companions, ‘May Allah accept from us and from you.’”

Later, one of our fellow students wrote a marginal note objecting to my earlier negation, saying: “Rather, al-Ḥāfiẓ stated in Fatḥ al-Bārī 2 / 446: ‘We have transmitted in the Muḥāmiliyyāt with a ḥasan isnād from Jubayr ibn Nufayr…,’” and he then cited the tradition.

His statement concerning the takbīrs recited by the worshiper reads: “Their time on Eid al-Aḍḥā extends from the dawn of the Day of ʿArafah until the ʿAṣr prayer of the last of the Days of Tashrīq.” I say: This is authentically reported from ʿAlī and Ibn ʿAbbās, and I have documented both in al-Irwāʾ 3 / 125; al-Ḥākim also narrated it from Ibn Masʿūd.

He further says regarding the formula of the takbīr: “It has come from ʿUmar and Ibn Masʿūd: Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar; lā ilāha illā Allāh; wa-Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar; wa-li-llāhi ʼl-ḥamd.” I say: Ibn Abī Shaybah transmitted it with a double takbīr in one report and with a triple takbīr in another, though the recognized wording is the first. See al-Irwāʾ 3 / 125–126.
