‘Upon you is to hold onto the correct path and
the Sunnah, since indeed there is none from
the slaves of Allaah who is upon the correct
path and the Sunnah, and when he remembers
Allaah Ta’ala whereby his eyes shed tears due
to the fear of Allaah, then the Hell-fire will
never touch him.’
[From ‘Zuhud’ by Abu Dawood/199]
2- Abdullah bin Mas’ood –RadhiAllaahu anhu-

A.H.) that he would say:
‘Tooba (a tree in Paradise) is for the one who
looks at his own shortcomings rather than the
shortcomings of others. Tooba is for the one
who humbles himself for Allaah without
degrading himself. May Allaah have Mercy on
the people of humility and servitude. He gives
charity for the wealth gathered in a Halaal way
and sits with the people of knowledge and
gentleness and wisdom, and the Sunnah is
sufficient for him and does not transgress to
Bida’.’
[From ‘Hileyat Al-Awaaliyah’ 4/67 ]
10- From Fudayl bin ‘Ayaad (d. around 180 A.H.)

Abi Dhib (d. 157 A.H.) that he read a Hadeeth

opinion?’ So he hit the man’s chest and
screamed. And he said: ‘I narrate to you from
the Messenger of Allaah, -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- and you say that should I accept this?
Yes I take this, and that is obligatory for me,
and upon everyone who hears it. Indeed Allaah
chose Muhammad -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- from the people and guided them by
him, and upon his hands, so it is upon the
creation to follow him, the obedient ones or
the disobedient ones, there is no exit for the
Muslim from this.’
[From: ‘Siyaar ‘Alaam an-Nubala’ 7/142 ]
15- From ar-Rabeeya’ bin Sulayman (d. 270
A.H.) who said: ‘A man asked ash- Shaafi’ee
about a Hadeeth of the Prophet -sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam-, then the man said to him:
‘And what is your opinion?’
Imam ash- Shaafi’ee trembled, shuddered and
said:
‘Which sky will shade me and which earth will
carry me if I narrate a Hadeeth from the
Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- and say an opinion other than that of
the Hadeeth.’ And he said: ‘If you find a Sunnah
of the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam- then follow it and do not turn to the
saying of anyone.’
[From ‘Hileyat Al-Awaaliyah’ 9/107 ]
16- From Abu Uthmaan al-Hayree (d. 298 A.H.)
that he said:
‘Whoever commands the Sunnah upon himself
in statements and actions then he speaks with
wisdom. And whoever commands al –Hawaa
(following of desires) upon himself then he
speaks with Bida’.
Allaah Ta’ala said:
<<If they obey you then they will be guided.>>’
[From: ‘Siyaar ‘Alaam an-Nubala’ 14/64 ]

said that he saw a man doing a lot ofRuku and
Sujood [praying a lot of optional prayers] after
the Fajr prayer, so he prohibited him from it.
So the man said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, will Allaah
punish me for the prayer?’
He answered: ‘No, but for opposing the
Sunnah.’
[From ‘at-Tamheed’ 20/104 ]
21- From AbdurRahman bin Mahdi (d. 198 A.H.)
that a group of the Ahl-ul-Bida’ were
mentioned in front of him and their striving in
worship, so he said:
‘Allaah will not accept except that which is upon
the Deen and the Sunnah, then he recited: <<
But the Monasticism which they invented for
themselves, We did not prescribe for them>>
[Hadeed: 27] So Allaah did not accept that from
them and he reprimanded them about it.’

A.H.) who said: ‘I heard my father saying:

innovates a Bida’ then the sweetness of the
Hadeeth is torn out from his heart.’

sinning. One repents from sinning, and one
does not repent from Bida’.’

Laalkaee 132 ]
