This is proven by the saying of the Most High: {وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمۡ} “And proclaim the greatness of Allah for guiding you.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 185] And His saying: {وَٱذۡكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فِیۤ أَیَّامࣲ مَّعۡدُودَ ٰ⁠تࣲۚ} “And remember Allah during ˹these˺ appointed days.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 203] And the (previous) hadith of Umm 'Attiyah, may Allah be pleased with her, in which she states: “and they make Takbir with the people.” The time for saying the Takbir on 'Eidul Adh-ha starts on the day of 'Arafah due to the hadith of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, in which he (Anas) was asked, what did you used to do with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on that day (i.e. Eidul Adh-ha)? He said: “Some of us would raise our voices with Talbiyah and nobody objected to that, and others raised their voices with Takbir and no one objected to that.” [Reported by Bukhari (1659) and Muslim (1285)] And the time for saying the Takbir on 'Eidul Adh-ha ends at Sunset on the last day of Tashreeq (13th of Dhul Hijjah) due to the saying of the Most High: {وَٱذۡكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فِیۤ أَیَّامࣲ مَّعۡدُودَ ٰ⁠تࣲۚ} “And remember Allah during ˹these˺ appointed days.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 203] And the hadith of Nubaisha Al-Hudhali, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The days of Tashreeq (11th, 12th & 13th of Dhul Hijjah) are days of eating drinking and remembrance of Allah.” [Reported by Muslim (1141)] And the day ends with the setting of the sun.
