3] Format of takbeer on the two Eids

3]
In Eid prayer for Eid al-Adha, I hear people repeat Takbeer
(saying"Allah Akbar" in Arabic) the following phrases:
Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah,
Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, wa Lillaahi'l-hamd.
Allaah akbar kabeera, walhamdulillaah katheera, wasubhan Allaahi
bukratan waaseela, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu fulfilled his promise
wa nasara 'abdah wa a'az jundah wa hazama al-ahzaaba wahdah Laa ilaaha
ill-Allaah wa la na'budu ila Iyah mukhliseena lahu'l-deena wa law
kariha'l-kaafiroon). They repeat this after each prayer (from the
daily 5 prayers),is that true? If wrong, what is the correct phrases
to be repeated instead?.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to the formatof takbeer: "Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar,
Allahu akbar laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, Allaah akbar, wa
Lillaah il-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is most Great, Allah is
most Great there is no god but Allaah,Allaah is Most great, Allaah is
most great, and to Allaah be praise)," this is proven from Ibn Mas'ood
(may Allah be pleased with him) and others of the early generation,
whether the first takbeer is said twice or three times.
See al-Musannaf by Abu Shaybah, 2/165-168; Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 3/125
With regard to the formatof takbeer, "Allaahu akbaru kabeera wa
alhamdu Lillaahi katheerawa subhaan Allaahi bukratan wa aseela… (There
is no god but Allaah, Allaah is most Great, Allaah is most Great, much
praise be to Allaah and glory be to Allaah at the beginning and end of
the day…)," Imam al-Shaafa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
If he adds to that and says: "Allaahu akbaru kabeera wa alhamdu
Lillaahi katheera wa subhaan Allaahi bukratan wa aseela, Allahu akbar
wa la na'budu illa Allah mukhliseena lahu al-deena wa law kariha
al-kaafiroon, la ilaaha ill-Allah wahdah, sadaqa wa'dah wa nasara
'abdah wa hazama al-ahzaaba wahdah, laa ilaaha ill-Allah wa Allahu
akbar (Allaah is most Great, much praise be to Allaah and glory be to
Allaah at the beginning and end of the day. Allah is most Great and we
worship none but Allah, and we make our worship purely for Him (alone)
however much the disbelievers may hate that. There is nogod but Allah
alone; He fulfilled His promise and granted victory to His slave and
defeated the Confederates alone. There is no God but Allah and Allah
is most Great)," thenhe has done well. End quote.

Abu Ishaaq al-Shiraazi said in al-Muhadhdhab (1/121):
Because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said
that atop al-Safa. End quote.
The matter is broad in scope, because the command is to say takbeer in
general, and the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
did not single out any particular format of takbeeraat. Allah, may He
be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"and that you must magnify Allâh [i.e. to say Takbîr (Allâhu-Akbar;
Allâh is the Most Great) forhaving guided you"
[al-Baqarah 2:185].
So one may follow the Sunnah by saying any format.
Al-San'aani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In al-Sharh there are
many formats narrated from a number of imams, which indicates that the
matter is broad in scope and the general wording of the verse
indicates that.End quote.
Subul al-Salaam, 2/72
Ibn Habeeb said: The dearest to me is to say: Allahu akbar, Allahu
akbar, la ilaaha ill-Allah wa Allahu akbar, wa Lillahi al-hamd 'ala ma
hadaana, Allahumma aj'alna laka min al-shaakireen (Allah is most
Great, Allah is most Great, there is no god but Allah and Allah is
most Great; praise be to Allah for having guided us; O Allah, make us
among those who give thanks to You).
The format preferred by Yazeed was: "Allaahu akbaru kabeera wa alhamdu
Lillaahi katheerawa subhaan Allaahi bukratan wa aseela, wa lahawla wa
la quwwata illa Billaah (Allaah is most great, much praise be to
Allaah and glory be to Allaah at the beginning and end of the day, and
there is no power and no strength except with Allah)." And he said:
Whatever you add or subtract, or whatever elseyou say, there is
nothing wrong with it. End quote.
'Aqd al-Jawaahir al-Thameenah, 3/242
Sahnoon said: I said to Ibnal-Qaasim: Did Maalik mention any
particular takbeer to you? He said: No. He said: Maalik did notsay
anything specific concerning these matters. End quote.
Al-Mudawwanah, 1/245
Imam Ahmad said: It is broad in scope. Ibn al-'Arabi said: Our
scholarsfavoured the view that takbeer is general in scope, which is
the apparent meaning of the Qur'aan, and I am inclinedto favour this
view.
