حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ سِوَى تَكْبِيرَتَىِ الرُّكُوعِ .

The above mentioned tradition has also been narrated by Ibn Shihab through a different chain of transmitters to the same effect. This version adds: "Except the two takers pronounced at the time of the bowing."

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1150
This narration continues the same Eid takbir hadith through another chain and adds a helpful detail. It says the count is apart from the two takbirs pronounced at the time of bowing. This means the report is speaking about the extra takbirs of the Eid prayer, not every takbir used while moving through the prayer. The core topic is Eid takbir count. The text itself does not explain the whole prayer from beginning to end, so the explanation should not go beyond that. It simply makes the count clearer for readers looking for the hadith about seven and five takbirs in Eid prayer.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration repeats the Eid takbir count through another chain.
- It adds that the count excludes the takbirs of bowing.
- The added wording helps separate extra Eid takbirs from movement takbirs.
