When Takbir is said and Salah (prayer) is commenced, he then recites al-Fatihah al-Kitab, then wa al-Shams and Duha’ha’ (Chapter 91), then says five Takbir. After saying Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) he performs Ruku‘ (bowing down on one’s knees), so he performs Ruku‘ after the seventh Takbir. He then performs two Sajdah (prostration), then stands up and recites al-Fatihah al-Kitab and Hal Ataka Hadith al-Ghashiyah (chapter 88), then says four Takbir, performs two Sajdah (prostration), says Tashahhud (testimonies of belief) and Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace). He (the Imam) said, ‘This is how the Messenger of Allah did. The sermon is after Salah (prayer). ‘Uthman was the one who initiated it before Salah (prayer). When the Imam delivers the sermon he sits down between the two sermons for a short time. It is proper for the Imam to wear burd (a certain kind of gown) on both ‘Id days and a shatiy turban or Qa’iz (certain kinds of fabrics). He goes out in the open so he can see the horizons of the sky. He does not perform Salah (prayer) on a mat or Sajdah (prostration) on it. The Messenger of Allah would go to al-Baqi‘ and perform Salah (prayer) with people.’”
