It is narrated on the authority of Tariq bin Shihab: It was Marwan who initiated (the practice) of delivering Khutbah (address) before the prayer on the 'Id day. A man stood up and said: Prayer should precede Khutbah. He (Marwan) remarked, This (practice) has been done away with. Upon this Abu Sa'id remarked: This man has performed (his duty) laid on him. I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.

The same hadith of the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace and blessings be upon him) has been reported by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri in connection with the story of Marwan.
