What is Recited in the Eid Sermon and Eid Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it established that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah Qaf in the Eid sermon? And what is the Prophetic guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding occasions such as festivals and the prayer for rain?

Answer:
What is established is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite from Surah Qaf in the Friday sermon, but he did not recite it in its entirety; rather, he recited it in parts, with a portion of this surah in each sermon that suited the topic of the sermon. This is how he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it. He used to recite in the Friday prayer "Subh al-Haqqah" (The Inevitable Truth) or recite the surah "Subhana Allahi" (Glory be to Allah), which is Surah al-Jumu'ah (Friday) and Surah al-Munafiqun (The Hypocrites). As for the Eid, he used to recite in the Eid prayer "Qaf" and "Iqtarabati al-Sa'ah" (The Hour is Near). If he recited something else from the Qur'an, that suffices, praise be to Allah. Yes.
