Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Raja narrates that Marwan had the pulpit brought out and he delivered the sermon before the prayer. A man stood up and said, "O Marwan! You have acted against the Sunnah; you had the pulpit brought out even though the pulpit was never brought out before, and you delivered the sermon before the prayer." On this occasion, Abu Saeed said, "Who is this?" People informed him that it was so-and-so. He said, "He has fulfilled his responsibility."
