The Khutbah On The Day Of 'Eid — Sunan Abi Dawud 1140

Marwan brought out the pulpit on the day of Eid and began with the sermon before the prayer. A man stood up and said, "O Marwan, you have opposed the Sunnah! You brought out the pulpit on the day of Eid—and it used not to be brought out on it—and you began with the sermon before the prayer." Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, "Who is this?" They said, "So-and-so, the son of so-and-so." He said, "As for this one, he has indeed fulfilled what was upon him. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying, 'Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he is not able, then with his tongue; and if he is not able, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.'"
