وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَوَّلَ مَا بُويِعَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤَذَّنُ لِلصَّلاَةِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَلاَ تُؤَذِّنْ لَهَا - قَالَ - فَلَمْ يُؤَذِّنْ لَهَا ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَوْمَهُ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا الْخُطْبَةُ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ يُفْعَلُ - قَالَ - فَصَلَّى ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ .
Ata' reported that Ibn 'Abbas sent (him) to Ibn Zubair at the commencement of the oath of allegiance to him (for Caliphate saying): As there is no Adhan on 'Id-ul-Fitr, so you should not pronounce it. Ibn Zubair did not pronounce Adhan on that day. He (Ibn 'Abbas) also sent him (with this message) that sermon (is to be delivered) after the prayer, and thus it was done. So lbn Zubair observed prayer before Khutba.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 886b
This hadith about Eid khutba after prayer reports that Ibn Abbas sent a message to Ibn Zubair at the beginning of the oath of allegiance to him. The message said that there was no Adhan for the prayer on Eid al-Fitr, so he should not pronounce it. Ibn Zubair did not call Adhan that day. Ibn Abbas also sent the message that the khutba is after the prayer, and that this had been done. So Ibn Zubair prayed before the khutba. The report is useful because it joins two Eid prayer points in one narration: no Adhan for Eid al-Fitr and the sermon coming after the prayer.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ibn Abbas instructed that no Adhan be called for Eid al-Fitr prayer.
- The khutba was placed after the Eid prayer in this report.
- Ibn Zubair acted on the message by praying before the khutba.
