Etiquette of Eid & Udhiyah (Sacrifice)
Delaying eating until after the Eid al-Adha prayer
"On the day of [Eid] al-Adha, the Prophet (SAW) would not eat until he returned [from the prayer, to eat from his sacrifice]."
Reference: Jami' al-Tirmidhi, graded Hasan, on the authority of Buraydah (RA)
Explanation
This reversed practice on Eid al-Adha ties the meal directly to the sacrifice performed after the prayer.
