And if he wishes to say between two takbīrs:

“Glory be to Allah, all praise belongs to Allah, there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is greatest. O Allah, forgive me and have mercy on me.”

That is good, as this has been reported from some of the early Muslims. Allah knows best.

He was asked:

Is the takbīr more strongly required on Eid al-Fitr than on Eid al-Adhā? Please explain this to us; may you be rewarded.

He replied:

The takbīr is prescribed on Eid al-Adhā by agreement. It is also prescribed on Eid al-Fitr according to Mālik, al-Shāfiʿī and Ahmad. Al-Tahāwī also cited this as the position of Abū Hanīfah and his disciples, although their well-known position is otherwise. Nevertheless, proclaiming the takbīr on this occasion is what has been transmitted from the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them. It is more emphatically prescribed on this occasion insofar as Allah commanded it in His words:

“So that you may complete the prescribed period and glorify Allah for having guided you, and that you may be grateful.”

The time for this takbīr begins with the sighting of the crescent and ends when the Eid observance concludes, which, according to the correct view, is when the imam finishes the sermon. As for the takbīr on Eid al-Adhā, it is more emphatically prescribed insofar as it is prescribed after the prayers
