| If a person takes a bath on Eid before the Eid Prayer, it is like he took a bath with Zum Zum water. ------------------------- When the Prophet(PBUH) went to Eid prayer he always came back from a different way. -------------------------- It is safe to say that the 'Eid prayer is a must. Also, if it falls on a Friday then it cancels out the Jumu'ah prayer. -------------------------- Ayesha (radiallahu anha) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "During the days of Qurbaani there is no deed of man more loved by Allah (SWT) than sacrificing of animals. On the Day of Qiyaamah the sacrificed animal will arise with its horns, hair and hoofs. Allah (SWT) accepts the sacrificed animal before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore, render the Qurbaani wholeheartedly and happily." -------------------------- The Sahaabah enquired from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) about the Qurbaani practice. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "It is the way of your father, Ibraheem (alayhis salaam)." The Sahabah asked: "What will we acquire by it?" Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied: "A good deed (is recorded for you) in return for every hair (on its body)." The Sahaabah asked: "O Rasulullah! If there is wool on the body?" Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "A good deed in return for every strand (of wool on its body)." -------------------------- Ali (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said to Faatimah (radiallahu anha): "0 Faatimah! Get up and be present at your Qurbaani (when it is about to be slaughtered). All your sins are forgiven as the first drop of its blood reaches the earth. Remember that on the Day of Qurbaani its flesh and blood will be brought and after increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale of good deeds." Its flesh and blood will be brought and after increasing it by seventy times, it will be placed in your Scale of good deeds." Abu Saeed (radiallahu anhu) asked: "O Rasulullah! Is this reward exclusive for the Family of Muhammad? Truly, they deserve such great thawaab (reward) - or is this thawaab for all Muslims as well?" Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, "For the Family of Muhammad as well as for all Muslims in general." Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, "The Qurbaani rendered wholeheartedly, happily and with sincerity of intention will on the Day of Qiyaamah be a shield against Jahannum for the sacrificer." -------------------------- Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Fatten your animals (of sacrifice-feed them well), for they will be your mounts on the Siraat (the Bridge over Jahannum)." -------------------------- Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "He who is by the means but does not render the Qurbaani, should not come to our place of Eid Salaah." |
