What is the reason for mentioning the beginning of the festival with prayer in the chapter on names and kunyas?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. These are many questions; I am presenting to your eminence whatever of them is feasible. This questioner says: What is the relevance of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) saying, "He began the festival with prayer before the sacrifice"? What is the relevance of this statement to the chapter the Shaykh established regarding the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in names and kunyas?

Answer:
His intention is to begin with what Allah began with, or what His Messenger began with. In the festival prayer, the Messenger began with the prayer before the alms of fitr, so we begin with what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) began with. Whether in action or in wording, such as "wash your faces and your hands," which is by wording. As for placing the festival prayer before the sermon, this is placing it first by action; we place first what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) placed first.
