1. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Khalaf ibn Hammad from Sa‘id al-Naqqash who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , said to me, ‘On al-Fitr (first day of the month of Shawwal), there is Takbir (saying ‘Allah is great beyond description’), and it is Mastur (masnun) optional.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘Where is it?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is during the night of al-Fitr, in Maghrib and ‘Isha’, in salat (prayer) and in salat (prayer) of ‘Id, and then it is discontinued.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘How do I say it?’ He (the Imam) replied, say, ‘Allah is great beyond description, Allah is great beyond description, only Allah deserves worship, Allah is great beyond description, Allah is great beyond description, All praise belongs to Allah, Allah is great beyond description; He has granted us guidance. This is in the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, “So you can complete the number (fasting)’, (2:182) and say, ‘Allah is great beyond description; He had granted you guidance.””” NOTE: A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from Khalaf ibn Hammad a similar Hadith.
