قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ ثُمَّ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَصَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ لَكُمْ فِيهِ عِيدَانِ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ الْجُمُعَةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَوَالِي فَلْيَنْتَظِرْ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَقَدْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ.
Abu 'Ubaid Narrated from:
Narrated Abu `Ubaid: (in continuation of above). Then I witnessed the `Id with `Uthman bin `Affan, and that was on a Friday. He offered the prayer before the sermon, saying, "O people! Today you have two 'Its (festivals) together, so whoever of those who live at Al-`Awali (suburbs) would like to wait for the Jumua prayer, he may wait, and whoever would like to return (home) Is granted my permission to do so."

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5572
This Hadith describes a specific Eid that fell on a Friday during the time of Uthman bin Affan. He offered the Eid prayer before the sermon. Then he told the people that two Eids had gathered for them on that day. He addressed those from Al-Awali, the suburbs, and said that whoever wished to wait for the Jumu'ah prayer could wait, and whoever wished to return home had his permission. The Hadith is often searched under Eid and Friday same day, two Eids together, and Jumu'ah after Eid prayer. The text itself is focused on Uthman’s permission for people from Al-Awali, without adding wider rulings beyond what is stated.
What we learn from this hadith
- Eid prayer was offered before the sermon.
- Uthman described that day as having two Eids together.
- People from Al-Awali were given permission either to wait for Jumu'ah or return.
