The Shaykh : Yes, going out to the prayer ground without a pulpit means that he does not take the pulpit out to the prayer ground. The pulpit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was made of palm branches that were crafted for him, and he would climb up on them, but he did not take it out to the 'Id prayer ground. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray the 'Id prayer in the mosque; rather, he prayed outside, going out and appearing so that the religious practice would be manifest and it would be known that this is the day of 'Id. Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
the Prophet used to go out on the day of the breaking of the fast and the day of sacrifice to the place of prayer, and the first thing he did was to pray إن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يخرج يوم الفطر والأضحى إلى المصلى فأول شيء يبدأ به الصلاة
Mishkat al-Masabih 1426
which is explicit that there is no adhan or iqamah in it.
As for what some scholars held, saying that the adhan is called for it with "The prayer is the prayer" by analogy to the eclipse prayer, this has no validity, for two reasons. The first reason is that the eclipse comes suddenly while people are unaware, so it was appropriate to call out "The prayer is the prayer" for it. The second is that the day of 'Id was in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the adhan was not called for it. Did he overlook the fact that it should be analogized to the eclipse, or what? Therefore, this analogy is invalid because it contradicts the explicit text, because the Messenger left it, and because it is not valid to analogize the 'Id to the eclipse, because the eclipse comes suddenly, so people need to be alerted to it.
Also, there is no iqamah in it, because what has no adhan has no iqamah.
And his saying:
the first thing to begin with was the prayer and after that فأول شيء يبدأ به الصلاة ثم ينصرف
Sahih al-Bukhari 956
means from the prayer,
He would stand facing the people فيقوم مقابل الناس
(peace and blessings be upon him).
