Mana al Ahsaar page 262 Interest is a despicable act in the eyes of Allah (swt) and In Sahih Muslim hadith number 3881 Jabir bin Abdullah narrates: "Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) cursed the accepter of interest and its payer, and one who records it, and the two witnesses; and he said: They are all equal".

Sahih Muslim hadith number 3881 Mu'awiya's introduction of interest in clear violation to the Sharia is worthy of note, particularly in light of the modern day book of Hanafi Fatwas "Aqaaidul Islam" - rendered into English by Moulana Zahier Ahmed Ragie. On page 158 we read the following fatwa: "A person becomes an unbeliever if he makes lawful the unlawful acts of Islam or vice versa e.g.

legalizes interest etc" Mu'awiya 'the Hadi' made changes to the Eid Salat Suyuti in Tarikh ul Khulafa page 200 notes that: "Zuhri narrates in relation to the Salat of Eid, the first to deliver the Khutba before the Salat was Mu'awiya bin Abu Sufyan". We read in Kitab al Ilm Volume 1 page 229 that: "Imam Zuhri narrates that Rasulullah (s), Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman lead the Eid Salat without Adhan, but Mu'awiya introduced the Adhan in the Eid prayer".

Ibn Hajar Asqalani in Fathul Bari Volume 2 page 529 expands on this matter yet further: "There is a difference of opinion over who introduced the Adhan in Eid Salat. Ibn Sheba has a tradition with a Sahih Isnad attributing this to Mu'awiya, whilst Shaafi states Ibn Ziyad introduced this in Basra, Daud claims that Marwan introduced this - but the vast bulk of traditions do not support this. Mu'awiya introduced this in the same way that he introduced the khutba of Eid before Salat".

Once again Abu Sulaiman's Hadi Imam is shown to have changed the Sharia, this time in connection with Eid prayers, in that there is no doubt, for we read in Sahih Muslim Book 004, Hadith Number 1926 Chapter 164: The prayer of the two Ids: Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: I observed prayer with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on the 'Id day. He commenced with prayer before the sermon without Adhan and Iqama.
