Remember Allah during the appointed days (11,12,13th Dhul Hijjah)

وَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ۬ مَّعۡدُودَٲتٍ۬
And remember Allah during the Appointed Days.

(Qur'aan 2:203)

Ibn `Abbas said, `The Appointed Days are the Day of Sacrifice (10th Dhul-Hijjah) and the Days of Tashriq (11,12,13th of Dhul-Hijjah)"

Allah's Messenger s.a.w.s said: (The days of Tashriq are days of eating, drinking and Dhikr (remembering) of Allah.)
(Reported by Imaam Ahmad)

It was narrated in the Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shaybah with an authentic isnaad that that one must recite takbeer during the days of tashreeq:

Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar wa Lillaah il-hamd
(Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is most Great, there is no god but Allaah, Allaah is Most great, Allaah is most great, and to Allaah be praise).
