After one wishes ‘Eid Mubarak’, the reply to it could also be framed in the form of a sentence. ‘Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum wa kullu aam wa antum bikhair’ could be used which means “May Allah accept it from us and you and may you be well every year”. Do you have any more phrases to add to these? (Cover Picture Courtesy). This comes from hadith which was narrated that Jubayr ibn Nufayr who said: When the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) met one another on the day of Eid, they would say to one another: “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum”.

It was narrated that that Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleasedwith them) used to congratulate one another on the occasion of Eid by sayingTaqabbal Allaahu minna wa minkum (May Allaah accept (this worship)from us and from you). It was narrated that Jubayr ibn Nufayr said: When thecompanions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah beupon him) met one another on the day of Eid, they would say to one another:“Taqabbal Allaahu minna wa mink (May Allaah accept (this worship)from us and from you).” Al-Haafiz said: Its isnaad is hasan.
Imam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: There isnothing wrong with one man saying to another on the day of Eid: TaqabbalAllaahu minna wa mink (May Allaah accept (this worship) from us and fromyou). This was narrated by Ibn Qudaamah in al-Mughni.
Eid Mubarak Wishes Taqabbalallahu Minna Wa Minkum
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah was asked in al-Fataawaal-Kubra (2/228): Does the common Eid greeting that is on people’s lips– “Eid Mubaarak” etc – have any basis in sharee’ah or not? If there is abasis for that in sharee’ah, what should we say?
He replied:
With regard to the greeting on the day of Eid, which peoplesay to one another when meeting after the prayer, “Taqabbal Allaahu minnawa minkum wa ahaalahu Allaah ‘alayka (May Allaah accept (this worship)from us and from you and may you live to see another Eid)” etc, this wasnarrated from a number of the Sahaabah who used to do that and allow othersto do so too, and from the Imams such as Imam Ahmad. But Ahmad said: I donot initiate this greeting with anyone. But if someone greets me in thismanner I return his greeting. That is because returning a greeting isobligatory, but initiating this greeting is not a Sunnah that is enjoined,but neither is it forbidden. The one who does it has an example and the onewho does not do it also has an example. And Allaah knows best.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked: What is the ruling onoffering Eid greetings and is there a particular wording to be used?
He replied:
Rabbana Taqabbal Minna
It is permissible to offer greetings and congratulations onEid, and there is no specific greeting. Rather the greetings that peoplecustomarily use are permissible so long as no sin is involved.
He also said:
Some of the Sahaabah offered greetings and congratulations onthe occasion of Eid. Even if we assume that they did not do that, it has nowbecome something customary that people are used to doing, congratulating oneanother on the occasion of Eid and on completing the fast and qiyaam.
And he was asked: what is the ruling on shaking hands,embracing and congratulating one another after the Eid prayer?
He replied:
There is nothing wrongwith these things, because people do not do these things as acts of worshipintended to draw them closer to Allaah, rather they do them because they arecustomary, and to honour and show respect to one another. So long as thereis nothing in sharee’ah to indicate that a custom is forbidden, then thebasic principle is that it is permissible.

Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani (rahimahullah) said:“We have related in “Mahaamiliyaat” with a chain of narration that is hasan, from Jabyr ibn Nufayr who said:‘When the companions of Allah’s Messenger (sulAllahu alaihi wa salaam) met on the day of ‘eid, they would say to each other, ‘Taqaballahu minna wa minkum (may Allah accept from you and us ).” [Al Mahamiliyyat; hasan isnad; see Fath ul Bari 2:446]
Ibn Qudaamah mentioned in al-Mughnee (2/259) that Muhammad ibn Ziyad said: I was with Abu Umamah al Bahili (rahimahullah) and some other companions of the Prophet (sulAllahu alaihi wa salaam).When they returned from the eid, they said to each other, ‘Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum (May Allaah accept it from you and us).”
Nothing wrong with Eid Mubarak, but what the sahabahs said is better practice
