Limiting Eid to Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr is mentioned in the of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for he said: "Indeed, every nation has its Eid, and we have two Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha." And upon his arrival in Medina, he said: "Indeed, Allah has replaced them for you with what is better than them: the day of Fitr and the day of Sacrifice." These are the two Eids of Islam, and it is obligatory to restrict oneself to them because no others are mentioned in the Sunnah.
