Question

What is the proof for saying:

ALLAHU EKBER ALLAHU EKBER LA ILAAHA ILLAL-LAA-HU WAL-LAA-HU EKBER ALLAHU EKBER WA-LIL-LAA-HIL HAMD

in the Tashrik Takbeers?

Did the Prophet SAW and Sahabah R.Anhum also recited this ? Is there prophetic hadeeths for proof?

Answer

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.

The preferred form of the takbirs of the Eid days (takbirat al-tashriq) is authentically related from Ali and Ibn Mas`ud (Allah be pleased with them) in the Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shayba, [Ibn al-Humam, Fath al-Qadir]. This form was also the general inherited practice of the Umma from the earliest generations, and such inherited practice is proof. [al-Muhit al-Burhani]

And Allah alone gives success.

Faraz Rabbani

فتح القدير - (ج 3 / ص 276)
عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَسَنَدُهُ جَيِّدٌ ، وَقَالَ أَيْضًا : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ قَالَ : قُلْت لِأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ : كَيْفَ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ عَلِيٌّ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؟ قَالَ : كَانَا يَقُولَانِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَاَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ ، ثُمَّ عَمَّمَ عَنْ الصَّحَابَةِ فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ : كَانُوا يُكَبِّرُونَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَأَحَدُهُمْ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلَاةِ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَاَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ .
