Stay seated and listen attentively to the imam's Eid khutbah. Ibn Abbas reports the Prophet ﷺ and the early caliphs praying before the sermon. Sahih al-Bukhari 962, authentic. Eid's order differs from the Friday service.

Ibn Abbas also reports two rakats without an accompanying prayer before or after at the Eid gathering. Sahih al-Bukhari 989. Do not add a special fixed Sunnah prayer to the illustrated Eid sequence.

Where practical, return by another route: Jabir reports this practice of the Prophet ﷺ. Sahih al-Bukhari 986, authentic. Greet others warmly and include those who may be alone.
