Kathir ibn Abdullah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would declare the greatness of Allah (takbir) during the Eid prayer seven times before reciting the Quran in the first bowing and five times before reciting the Quran in the second bowing.
At-Tirmidhi said, “This tradition is acted upon by some of the scholars among the companions of the Prophet and others.”
