حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ السَّدُوسِيِّ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِيدَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا إِلَّا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَيْهَا شَيْئًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2174
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) offered the Eid prayer with two rak'ahs, in which he did not recite anything except Ummul-Kitab (al-Fatihah); he did not add anything to it.
