Section: Duas to be read on the day of Eid

Ibn Mas'ud (RA) recited the takbeer in this way:

اَللَّهُ أَكْبرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ

اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ، لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ، وَاللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ

Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar, Allahu akbar wa lillaahil hamd.

Ibn Abbas (RA) said:

اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ، اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَأَجَلُّ، اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلىَ مَا هَدَانَا

اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ، اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ، اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ، وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ، اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ وَاَجَلُّ، اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ عَلٰى مَا هَدَانَا

Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, wa lillaahil hamd, allaahu akbar wa ajall, allaahu akbar 'alaa maa hadaana.

In another narration:

اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيْرًا، اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيْرًا، اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَأَجَلُّ، اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ

اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ كَبِيْرًا، اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ كَبِيْرًا، اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ وَاَجَلُّ، اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ، وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ

Allaahu akbar kabira, Allaahu akbar kabira, Allaahu akbar wa ajall, Allaahu akbar, wa lillaahil hamd. [1]

Women will also recite this takbeer, but in a low voice. So that non mahram can't hear the sound of this takbeer. Umm Atiyah (RA) said, ‘Even we used to take menstruating women out to the Eidgah. They stood behind the men; They used to recite takbeer after hearing their takbeer and they also used to recite dua after hearing their dua. They hoped for the blessings and holiness of that day.' [2] On the other hand, it is bid'ah to recite the takbeer of the congregation in one voice or the recitation of the takbeer by all at the same time. Since the sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) is: In the dhikr of Allaah, each person will recite his own dhikr alone. So it is not right for anyone to deviate from the ideals of him and his companions. [3]
