The Two Festivals (Eids)

13/12. Chapter:

To say Takbir on the days of Mina and while proceeding to Arafat

وَكَانَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُكَبِّرُ فِي قُبَّتِهِ بِمِنًى فَيَسْمَعُهُ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَيُكَبِّرُونَ وَيُكَبِّرُ أَهْلُ الأَسْوَاقِ، حَتَّى تَرْتَجَّ مِنًى تَكْبِيرًا. وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُكَبِّرُ بِمِنًى تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ وَخَلْفَ الصَّلَوَاتِ، وَعَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَفِي فُسْطَاطِهِ، وَمَجْلِسِهِ وَمَمْشَاهُ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ جَمِيعًا. وَكَانَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ تُكَبِّرُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ. وَكُنَّ النِّسَاءُ يُكَبِّرْنَ خَلْفَ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزَ لَيَالِيَ التَّشْرِيقِ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ.Umar رضي الله عنه during his stay at Mina, used to say Takbir in his tent (with such a loud voice) that the people in the mosque would hear it and they too would start saying Takbir and the people in the market too would do the same and then the whole Mina would quiver with Takbir. During those days, Ibn 'Umar used to say Takbir at Mina and after the (compulsory) Salat (prayers) and also while in bed in his tent, while sitting, and while walking. He used to do so during all those days. Maimuna used to say Takbir on the day of Nahr. The women used to say Takbir behind Aban bin 'Uthman and 'Umar bin 'Abdul Aziz, along with the men in the mosque during the nights of Tashriq.

Sahih Bukhari : 971

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ أَنْ نَخْرُجَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ، حَتَّى نُخْرِجَ الْبِكْرَ مِنْ خِدْرِهَا، حَتَّى نُخْرِجَ الْحُيَّضَ فَيَكُنَّ خَلْفَ النَّاسِ، فَيُكَبِّرْنَ بِتَكْبِيرِهِمْ، وَيَدْعُونَ بِدُعَائِهِمْ يَرْجُونَ بَرَكَةَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَطُهْرَتَهُ‏.‏

Narrated Um `Atiya: We used to be ordered to come out on the Day of `Id and even bring out the virgin girls from their houses and menstruating women so that they might stand behind the men and say Takbir along with them and invoke Allah along with them and hope for the blessings of that day and for purification from sins.
