عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: أَوَّلُ مَنْ بَدَأَ بِالخُطْبَةِ يَوْمَ العِيدِ قَبْلَ الصَّلاةِ مَرْوَانُ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: الصَّلاةُ قَبْلَ الخُطْبَةِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ تُرِكَ مَا هُنَالِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ رضي الله عنه: أَمَّا هذَا فَقَدْ قَضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ؛ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ، وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الإِيمَانِ»
Ṭāriq ibn Shihāb narrated:
1. The first to start with the speech, i.e., the khuṭbah, before the prayer on an Eid Day was Marwān. A man stood up and said to him: ‘The prayer is offered before the speech’. He said: ‘This has been left out’. 2. Abu Saīd said: ‘This one has discharged his duty’. 3. I heard God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) say: “Whoever of you sees a wrongful action should change it with his hand. 4. and if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue. 5. and if he is unable to do that, then with his heart. This [last one] is the weakest degree of faith’.
You are the best community that has ever been raised for mankind; you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid what is wrong, and you believe in God.
(3: 110)
Those of the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by David and Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they rebelled and persisted in their transgression. (78) They would never restrain one another from wrongdoing. Vile indeed were the things they did.
(5: 78-79)
The believers, men, and women are friends to one another: They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong; they attend to their prayers, and pay their zakat, and obey God and His Messenger. It is on these that God will have mercy. Surely, God is almighty, wise.
(9: 71)
