Summary
Spending the eve of Eid in worship is encouraged because it carries blessings and mercy. The recommended acts mentioned are night prayer (qiyamullail), supplication, and reciting takbir, tahlil, tahmid and tasbih on the eve and morning of Eid. The takbir continues until the Eid prayer. The ruling cites hadiths on the merit of night prayer and of adorning the two Eids with these remembrances.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
