* [[Prayer of Eid]]: [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] quoted from Imam 'Ali (a), "anyone who does two Rak'as of prayer, at the first Rak'a of which one must read the [[Surat al-Fatiha]] once and the [[Surat al-Tawhid]] a thousand times and in the second Rak'a he must read the Surat al-Fatiha and the Surat al-Tawhid once and would not ask God anything unless he will receive it."<ref>Sayyid b.

* Saying Takbirs after the prayers: (quoted from [[Mu'awiya b. 'Ammar]]) I heard from Imam al-Sadiq (a) said, "There are Takbirs in the Eid al-Fitr." I said, "when?" he (a) said, "In the [[Maghrib prayer]] on the eve of the Eid al-Fitr and in the [[Fajr prayer]] in the morning of the Eid al-Fitr and in the prayer of the Eid al-Fitr. Then there be no more. And this is the word of God that says, 'so that you may complete the number, and magnify Allah for guiding you,'<ref>Qurʾān, 2:185.</ref> and Takbir is saying 'Allah akbar, Allah akbar, La ilah illa Allah wa Allah akbar, wa lillah al-hamd 'ala ma hadana, wa lah al-shukr 'ala ma awlana." ({{arabic|اللهُ اکبر، اللهُ اکبر، لا إله إلا اللهُ و اللهُ اکبر، و لله الحمد علی ما هدانا، و له الشکر علی ما اولانا}})<ref>Sayyid b. Ṭāwūs, ''al-Iqbāl bi-l-aʿmāl al-ḥasana'', vol. 1, p. 459.</ref>
