حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَی السِّينَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِيدَ فَلَمَّا قَضَی الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ إِنَّا نَخْطُبُ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ لِلْخُطْبَةِ فَلْيَجْلِسْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ فَلْيَذْهَبْ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1155
Narrated Abdullah ibn as-Saib: I attended the Eid prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When he finished the prayer, he said: We shall deliver the sermon; he who likes to sit for listening to it may sit and he who likes to go away may go away. Abu Dawud said: this is a mursal tradition (i. e. the successor Ata directly reporting from the Prophet ﷺ and omitting the link of the Companions).
