حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ جَمِيعًا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، - عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ، سَالِمٍ مَوْلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ وَفِي الْجُمُعَةِ بِـ { سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى} وَ { هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ} قَالَ وَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ الْعِيدُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا أَيْضًا فِي الصَّلاَتَيْنِ.
An-Nu'man bin Bashir Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite on two 'Ids and in Friday prayer: " Glorify The name of Thy Lord, the Most High" (Surah lxxxvii.), and:" Has there come to thee the news of the overwhelming event" (lxxxviii.). And when the 'Id and Jumu'a combined on a day he recited these two (surah) in both the prayers.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 878a
This hadith about Al-A'la and Al-Ghashiyah in Jumu'ah prayer reports a regular recitation from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Nu'man ibn Bashir says the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to recite 'Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High' and 'Has there come to thee the news of the overwhelming event' in the two Eid prayers and in Friday prayer. He also says that when Eid and Jumu'ah came together on one day, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited these two surahs in both prayers. The narration is about recitation choice, not about every ruling connected to Eid and Jumu'ah. It gives a clear prophetic pattern for these prayers.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited Surah Al-A'la and Surah Al-Ghashiyah in Friday prayer.
- The same two surahs are mentioned for the two Eid prayers.
- When Eid and Jumu'ah were on the same day, the report says he recited them in both prayers.
