Sunan Abi Dawud 1152 (Book 2, Hadith 763) #21444
Uttering Takbir During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ used to recite the Quran and utter takbirs (Allah is most great) seven times in the first rak'ah and four times in the second.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet used to say on the day of the breaking of the fast seven takbirs in the first rak'ah and then recite the Qur'an, and utter the takbir (Allah is most great). Then he would stand, and utter the takbir four times. Thereafter he would recite the Qur'an and bow. Abu Dawud said: This has been narrated by Waki' and Ibn al-Mubarak. Their version goes: "Seven (in the first rak'ah) and five (in the second)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَيَّانَ - عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى الطَّائِفِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ فِي الْفِطْرِ فِي الأُولَى سَبْعًا ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ وَكِيعٌ وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالاَ سَبْعًا وَخَمْسًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Recite takbirs on days of breaking fasts

EXPLANATIONS:
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. On the day of breaking their fast, it is customary for Muslims to recite a special prayer known as takbirs. This prayer consists of saying “Allah is most great” seven times in the first rak’ah and four times in the second rak’ah while reciting verses from the Qur’an. This practice was narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As, Waki', and Ibn al-Mubarak who all reported that Prophet Muhammad used to do this during his lifetime. By doing this, Muslims are reminded of Allah's greatness and mercy which they should strive to emulate throughout their lives.
