[2053] 9 - (889) It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed Al-Khidrî that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to come out on the day of Al-Adha and Al-Fitr and start with the prayer. When he had prayed and said the Salâm, he stood up and turned to the people, who were sitting where they had prayed. If he needed to send out an army he would do so, and if he needed to issue any other orders, he would do so. And he used to say: "Give charity, give charity, give charity." The ones who gave the most charity were the women. Then he would depart. It continued like that until the time of Marwân bin Al-Ḥakam. I went out hand in hand with Marwân until we reached the prayer place, where Kathîr bin As-Ṣalt had built a Minbar of clay and bricks. Marwân started to pull me with his hand, as if he wanted to pull me towards the Minbar, and I was trying to pull him towards the prayer. When I realized what he was doing, I said to him: "What about starting with the prayer?" He said: "No, O Abû Sa'eed, what you know has been abandoned." I said: "No, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul! You are not doing anything better than what I know" - three times, then he left.
