2172. Tāriq bin Shihāb said: "The first to advance the Khutbah before the Salāt was Marwān.[1] A man stood to say to Marwān: 'You have contradicted the Sunnah.' So he said: 'O so-and-so! What was there it has been left.' So Abū Sa'eed said: 'As for this, he has fulfilled what is upon him. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'Whomever among you sees an evil, then let him stop it with his hand. Whomever is not able, then with his tongue, and whomever is not able, then with his heart. That is the weakest of faith.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to perform the 'Eid prayer first and then deliver the Khutbah. The rightly guided Caliphs also adhered to this order as a normal practice. Marwan, however, made it a habit to deliver the Khutbah first, to make the people listen to his Khutbah. The Muslims as a whole did not accept this change.
