510 صحيح حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُول اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَالأَضْحَى إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى، فَأَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ يَبْدأُ بِهِ الصَّلاَةُ، ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَقُومُ مُقَابِلَ النَّاسِ، وَالنَّاسُ جُلُوسٌ عَلَى صُفُوفِهِمْ، فَيَعِظُهُمْ وَيُوصِيهِمْ وَيَأْمُرُهُمْ، فَإِنْ كَانَ يُريدُ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ بَعْثًا، قَطَعَهُ؛ أَوْ يَأْمُرَ بِشَيْءٍ، أَمَرَ بِهِ؛ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِف قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّاسُ عَلَى ذلِكَ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مَعَ مَرْوَانَ، وَهُوَ أَميرُ الْمَديِنةِ، فِي أَضْحًى أَوْ فِطْرٍ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا الْمُصَلَّى إِذَا مِنْبَرٌ بَنَاهُ كَثيرُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ، فَإِذَا مَرْوَانُ يُريدُ أَنْ يَرْتَقِيَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ، فَجَبَذْتُ بِثَوْبِهِ، فَجَبَذَنِي، فَارْتَفَعَ فَخَطَبَ قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ؛ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: غَيَّرْتُمْ وَاللهِ فَقَالَ: أَبَا سَعِيدٍ قَدْ ذَهَبَ مَا تَعْلَمُ؛ فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَعْلَمُ، وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا لاَ أَعْلَمُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَجْلِسُونَ لَنَا بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَجَعَلْتُهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would go to the Eidgah (prayer ground outside Madinah) on the days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the first thing he would do was lead the people in prayer. After finishing the prayer, he (peace be upon him) would stand before the people while all of them remained seated in their rows. He (peace be upon him) would then deliver a sermon, advise them, and command them to do good. If he intended to send an army for jihad, he would separate it (from the congregation), and if he needed to give any other command, he would do so. After that, he (peace be upon him) would return to the city.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the people continued to follow this Sunnah, but during the time of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), Marwan, who was the governor of Madinah, I went out with him for the Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha prayer. When we reached the Eidgah, I saw a pulpit built by Kathir bin Salt. As soon as we arrived, Marwan wanted to ascend it (to deliver the sermon) before the prayer, so I grabbed his garment and pulled him, but he shook me off and went up and delivered the sermon before the prayer. I said to him, "By Allah, you have changed (the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him)." Marwan said, "O Abu Sa'id, that time has passed which you know." Abu Sa'id said, "By Allah, the time I know is better than the time I do not know." Marwan said, "In our time, people do not sit after the prayer, so I delivered the sermon before the prayer."
