Nafi’ reported: Abdullah ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, used to perform a ritual bath on the day of Eid before he would depart for prayer.
Imam al-Nawawi commented, “The narrations of Al-Shafi’i and his companions agree upon the recommendation to perform a ritual bath on the day of Eid, for those present at the prayer as well as for those who do not attend.”
In another hadith, the Prophet SAWS tells us that Allah SWT is the Most Beautiful, and He likes to see beauty on his servants. Hence, we should try to kep up this habit.
