Bidi'a ita ce akasin Sunnah.

A--- Innovation is the antonym of Sunnah.

Bidi'a na nufin shar'anta abin da Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki bai shar'anta ba. Manzon Allah ﷺ yana nufin wannan ne a lokacin da yake cewa: "Duk wanda ya ƙirƙiro a cikin wannan al'amarinmu, wato addininmu, abin da ba ya cikinsa, to an mayar da shi" (Bukhari da Muslim).

Innovation means to legislate what has not been ordained by Allah the Almighty. Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) means this when he says: "If any of you introduces into this affair of ours "religion” anything which does not belong to it, it is rejected.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Ya ce (Aminci ya tabbata a gare shi) ﷺ: "Ku manne da Sunnata da tafarkin Khulafa'u Rashidun (wadanda za su zo) bayan ni, ku manne da ita, ku rike ta da karfi, kuma ku nisanci bidi'o'i, domin kowace bidi'a bata ce."ﷺ (Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi da Ibn Majah)

He (Peace be upon him) says: "Stick to my Sunnah and the way of the rightly-guided Caliphs (those who come) after me, stick to it, adhere thereto firmly, and be ware of innovations for every innovation is a misguidance." (Abu Dawud, AtTirmidhi and Ibn Majah)

Ya ce (SWT)... — no, correcting: the honorific here is "(Peace be upon him)" referring to the Prophet, so it becomes ﷺ. Ya ce ﷺ: "... kuma wannan al'umma za ta rabu zuwa ƙungiyoyin addini saba'in da uku — duk suna cikin Wuta, sai guda ɗaya, kuma wannan guda ɗaya shi ne: wanda ni da sahabbai na muke a kansa a yau, watau bin Alƙur'ani da Sunnar Annabi ﷺ."(Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi da Ibn Majah)

He (Peace be upon him) says: "... and this nation will be divided into seventy-three religious sects, -all in Hell, except one, and that one is: on which I and my companions are today, i.e. following the Qur'an and the Prophet's Sunnah.”(Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah)

Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya tabbatar da cewa shi (Peace be upon him) ba ya cikin mutanen Bidi'a, inda ya ce: {Lalle waɗanda suka rarraba addininsu, suka zama ƙungiyoyi (dukkan irin ƙungiyoyin addini), kai (ya Muhammadu ﷺ) ba ka da wani ruwa da su ko kaɗan.

Allah the Almighty declared his (Peace be upon him) innocence from belonging to the people of Innovations, saying: {Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kinds of religious sects), you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) have no concern in them in the least.

Al'amarinsu yana ga Allah kawai}. (Al-An'am, 159)

Their affair is only with Allah}. (Al-An' am, 159)
