On the authority of the mother of the faithful, Aaishah (RA), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who innovates something in this matter of ours [i.e., Islam] that is not of it will have it rejected [by Allah]." Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim
In one version by Muslim it reads: "He, who does an act which we have not commanded, will have it rejected [by Allah]."
Before explaining the hadith in details, a look at Aisha
-she is narrator of hadith number five
-Aisha means someone who is lively and full of life
-married to the prophet (saw) at young age and became a scholar of Islam
-there is confusion/conflict on age of marriage between scholars and historians
-a hadith in Bukhari said she got married at age 9
-this conflict will go on and on
-shaikh takes sides with the historians on this issue
Aisha took part in the battle of Uhud, pouring water no the mujahids
Narrated Anas: On the day of the battle of Uhud, the people ran away, leaving the Prophet, but Abu-Talha was shielding the Prophet with his shield in front of him. Abu Talha was a strong, experienced archer who used to keep his arrow bow strong and well stretched. On that day he broke two or three arrow bows. If any man passed by carrying a quiver full of arrows, the Prophet would say to him, "Empty it in front of Abu Talha." When the Prophet started looking at the enemy by raising his head, Abu Talha said, "O Allah's Prophet! Let my parents be sacrificed for your sake! Please don't raise your head and make it visible, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you. Let my neck and chest be wounded instead of yours." (On that day) I saw `Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr and Um Sulaim both lifting their dresses up so that I was able to see the ornaments of their legs, and they were carrying the water skins of their arms to pour the water into the mouths of the thirsty people and then go back and fill them and come to pour the water into the mouths of the people again. (On that day) Abu Talha's sword fell from his hand twice or thrice. [Sahih Bukhari (5/37) No. 3811]
-it is a well- known fact that Prophet did not take kids with him to the battlefield
-Bukhari says that Aisha took part in the battle of Uhud, so she must be a full grown woman
Ibn Umar (RA) narrated: I was presented before Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for the army when I was fourteen years old. But, he did not enlist me. Then, the next year I was presented to him for the army being fifteen years and he took me. Nafi’ said: I narrated this hadith to Umar ibn Abdul Aziz and he said, “The limit between a minor and a major (is this).” Then he wrote (to his officers) that those who attain the age of fifteen may be given share in spoils of war. [Al-Bukhari (2664) and Muslim (1868)]
The prophet (ﷺ) turned back 15 year olds so how could he take a 9 year old to the battle
-this doesn’t stand up to scrutiny
-the books on Aisha said she was born 612C.E some say 610C.E
-they can't make up their minds
-there was no registrar
So her birthday is confusing
-the hijra of rasool (ﷺ) was 622C.E
-this would mean she was 12 years old when she migrated
-14 when consummated
-the matter needs proper research, instead of believing what you hear
-do your own research
Tabari and ibn Kathir said that Asma, sister of Aisha migrated when she was 27
-and she was 10 years older that Aisha
-so the prophet took her to Uhud because she was full grown and not a child
-she must have been 19 or 20
-the idea that the prophet would take 9 year olds to battle does not make sense
The narrator of the hadith about her age became old and senile
THE TEN MERITS OF AISHA
Narrated By 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle ﷺ said (to me), "You were shown to me twice in (my) dream. Behold, a man was carrying you in a silken piece of cloth and said to me, "She is your wife, so uncover her,' and behold, it was you. I would then say (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.'" [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 87, Hadith #139]
1) The angel Jibril presented her in a dream to the Prophet
2) She was the only virgin wife
3) The rasool passed away on her laps
4) The revelation would come down to the prophet in her bed
...the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Um Salama! Don't trouble me by harming `Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her." [Sahih Bukhari (5/30) No. 3775]
-why didn’t revelation come down while he was with other wives?
-Because she was a virgin, her bed was pure
5) She was the daughter of his closest companion
6) She was the daughter of the first caliph, the successor of the prophet
7) She was his favourite wife
8) She was the greatest scholar of Islam to ever live
She was able to memorise the knowledge because of her youth
-3 wives memorised the Quran:
Aisha, umm Salama and Hafsa
9) She was extremely charitable to strangers and she kept close ties of kinship
Narrated By Jubair bin Mut'im: That he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The person who severs the bond of kinship will not enter Paradise." [al-Bukhari (5984) and Muslim (2556)]
10) She was extremely brave and had the love for the battlefield
-she asked to go to battle but the prophet told her the jihad of a woman is to make hajj
Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We consider Jihad as the best deed, should we not then go for Jihad?" The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "The best Jihad for you women is Hajj Mabrur (i.e., one accepted by Allah)." [Al-Bukhari].
THE DARK DAYS IN THE LIFE OF AISHA
The first dark day was the ifk: when the hypocrites slandered her and said she had an affair
Verily! Those who brought forth the slander (against 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet ﷺ) are a group among you. Consider it not a bad thing for you. Nay, it is good for you. Unto every man among them will be paid that which he had earned of the sin, and as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be a great torment. (An-Nur 24:11)
-surah 24:11 was revealed to say she was wrongly accused
The other dark day is when Uthman was killed
-when Uthman was killed Ali became caliph.
-Aisha asked him to take revenge for Uthman’s death
-but Ali said he needed to investigate more before doing that
Aisha gave a public speech and got the people to march against Ali,
-because he was taking too long to make a judgement
-Ali’s army defeated her army
-she wanted someone else to be the caliph that was why she marched against Ali
Talha had a liking for Aisha
-he would say when the prophet died Aisha would be his
-the prophet was alive when Talha made the statement
-but the prophet (saw) did not move on him, he understood human nature
Allah revealed that no one is allowed to marry prophet’s wives after he passes away
-the prophet didn't like to tell his sahabah off
-but the shites have their own history
-they believed that Aisha hated Ali because when she was accused, Ali was not there for her
...Usama bin Zaid told Allah's Apostle of what he knew about the innocence of his wife and of his affection he kept for her. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! She is your wife, and we do not know anything about her except good." But 'Ali bin Abi Talib said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allah does not impose restrictions on you; and there are plenty of women other than her. If you however, ask (her) slave girl, she will tell you the truth."... [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 6, Book 60, Hadith #274]
-the Shiites try to say that they knew what Aisha was thinking.
-when Uthman was stabbed his blood fell on an ayat of the Quran.
So Allāh will suffice you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. (Al-Baqarah 2:137)
They said that Uthman was practicing nepotism/ favouritism with his family
-they stabbed him when he was reciting the Quran
-Uthman’s wife came to his rescue but got some fingers cut off
Ali was trying to find out what happened.
-Aisha wasn’t satisfied and led an army against Ali,
-her co wife wrote a letter to tell her it is for men not women to do this
-but she went ahead with the army
-she dies in medina in 678C.E at the age of 66
We spoke about Aisha because she was the one who narrated the hadith
-this hadith is talking about bid’ah
-a cursed innovation
-the rasool (saw) said if you live long you will see differences
-so hold on the Sunnah
...Those of you who survive will see many discords. Beware; refrain from innovations in religion, for that is error. So, he of you who encounters that must adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs. All of you should hold that firmly with your teeth.” [Tirmidhi 2685, Ahmed 17145, Abu Dawud 4607, Ibn Majah 42]
-people introduce matters into the deen for corrupted desires
-some believe Islam is boring so let’s spice it up
-they add things to Islam
-there are people who believe that Islam is too difficult, so let us subtract from it
-23:71 warns of this
And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder. (Al-Mu'minun 23:71)
Do not underestimate the evil desires of people
-they allow same sex marriage and open animal brothels
ANIMAL BROTHELS LEGAL IN DENMARK: Click
-it is better to overestimate the evil of your enemy
Bid’ah means to start something new; what the prophet (ﷺ) did not legislate
-you are not allowed to subtract from Islam
-because Allah says that He neglected nothing in the book
There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered. (Al-An'am 6:38)
Say (O Muhammad ﷺ to mankind): "If you (really) love Allāh then follow me (i.e. accept Islāmic Monotheism, follow the Qur'ān and the Sunnah), Allāh will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Aali Imran 3:31)
He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ), has indeed obeyed Allāh, but he who turns away, then we have not sent you (O Muhammad ﷺ) as a watcher over them. (An-Nisa 4:80)
-the people of bid’ah were asked by Allah in surah 49:16
Say: "Will you inform Allāh about your religion? While Allāh knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and Allāh is All-Aware of everything. (Al-Hujurat 49:16)
-those who add and subtract from Islam are asked this
The priests and nuns are practicing bid’ah 57:27
But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allāh therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance. So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are Fāsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allāh). (Al-Hadid 57:27)
-Allah says they went to the extreme
-they stay away from marriage for life-but dabble in paedophilia and homosexuality
The deen is perfect so do not add or subtract to it
This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islām as your religion. But as for him who is forced by severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such can eat these above-mentioned meats), then surely, Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-Ma'idah 5:3)
This is because of that (evil) which your hands have sent before you. And certainly, Allāh is never unjust to (His) slaves. (Aali Imran 3:182)
Allāh burdens not a person beyond his scope(Al-Baqarah 2:286) not 2:186
O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before Allāh and His Messenger (ﷺ), and fear Allāh. Verily! Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Al-Hujurat 49:1)

'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night." [Sahih Bukhari (3/45) No. 2010]
-when Umar put taraweeh under one imam it was not bid’ah, it was maslahah
No jihad without a caliph is bid’ah in regards to fiqh and can become bid’ah in regards to aqeeda
And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination. (An-Nisa 4:115)
-when a MADkhali says to dismantle the sharia is minor kufr
-this is bid’ah in regards to aqeeda
-and he goes against the ijmaa of the ummah
So Whosoever abandons the wise Shariah which was revealed upon Muhammed ibn Abdullah, the seal of the prophets, and goes to other abrogated Shariah for judgment, he becomes a Kaafir. So how about the one who goes to al-Yaasiq (man-made law) for judgment and gives it precedence (over the Sharia of Muhammed (saw)? Whosoever does this has become a Kaafir by the Ijma of the Muslims. Ibn Kathir, Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihayah, Vol 13, p119
-when a Saudi salafi says that you are not a kafir until you make it halal with your tongue,
-that is bid’ah in regards to aqeeda
Shaikh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullaah Ibn Baaz said: "There is no Emaan for the one who believes the laws of the people and their opinions are superior to the Hukm of Allah and His Messenger or that they are equal to it or that they resemble it or who leaves it or replaces it with fabricated laws and institutions invented by people, even if he believes that the laws of Allah are more encompassing and more just."

Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the people (hypocrites) said, "Verily, the people (pagans) have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them." But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: "Allāh (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)." (Aali Imran 3:173)
And whenever there comes down a Sûrah (chapter from the Qur'ān), some of them (hypocrites) say: "Which of you has had his Faith increased by it?" As for those who believe, it has increased their Faith, and they rejoice. (At-Tawbah 9:124)

Narrated By 'Aisha and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: Allah's Apostle said: "May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets." The Prophet was warning (Muslims) of what those had done. [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Book 8, Hadith #427]
Jabir (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) forbade that graves should be plastered and that anything should be inscribed thereon and that a structure should be raised on them and that they should be trodden on. [Muslim 970, Abu Dawud 3225, Tirmidhi 1054, Nisai 2023]
-a monument over saints’ graves is bid’ah in ibaadah
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "O Allah! Do not make my grave an idol that is worshipped. The anger on those who took the graves of their Prophets as places of prostration was terrible." [Muwatta Malik (1/223) No. 570, Musannaf Abdur Razzaq (1/406) No. 1587, Musnad Ahmad (2/246) No. 7352]

He said, "The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to them, 'Make alive what you have created.'

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: "It is not known that anyone used to wipe his face after making du’aa’ except al-Hasan." [Al-‘Ilal al-Mutanaahiyah, 2/840, 841]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (rh) said: "With regard to the Prophet (ﷺ) raising his hands when saying du’aa’, there are many saheeh ahaadeeth concerning this, but as for his wiping his face with his hands, there are only one or two hadeeths concerning that, and they cannot be taken as evidence." [Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (22/519)]

Adding sentences to adhan is bid’ah in ibaadah
-the Shiites add to the adhan
Albani said if you insult Muhammad (ﷺ) you are not a kaffir
-this is bid’ah in regards to aqeeda
Al-Albani: (We don’t think this accurate is in absolute sense, because it is possible that this insult (sabb) or reviling (satam) is the result of ignorance, bad upbringing, negligence, And lastly it could be with intent and knowledge, and in that case, it is a clear apostasy, of which there's no doubt. But if it carries either of the former situations which I pointed at. Then it's best Islamic to refrain from takfir than to rush towards it.)Source: Silsilat al-Huda wa al-Nur, tape nr. 820, min. 46:03).
Al-Imam Ishaq Ibn Rahawayh said: (All Muslims are in consensus that whoever curses Allah or curses His Messenger, or rejects something from what Allah revealed, or killed a prophet, that he is a kafir; and even if he accept what was revealed by Allah. And Al-Khattabi said, "I don't know of anyone who disagrees with the obligation of his killing."
And Muhammad Ibn Sahnun said that the scholars are in consensus that the one who curses the Messenger is a Kafir; and whoever doubts his Kufr is a Kafir.) Taken from (Kitab al-Sarim al-Maslul 'ala satim al-Rasul, by Ibn Taymiyya)

Narrated By Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93, Hadith #469]
To say Muhammad (ﷺ) was Noor and not Bashar is bid’ah in aqeeda
-to say Muhammad is alive with his faculties in his grave bid’ah in aqeeda
Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me that your Ilāh (God) is One Ilāh (God i.e. Allāh). So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." (Al-Kahf 18:110)
Verily, you (O Muhammad ﷺ) will die and verily, they (too) will die. (Az-Zumar 39:30)

There I will see Moses holding one of the pillars of Allah's Throne. I will wonder whether he has become conscious before me of he has been exempted, because of his unconsciousness at the Tur (mountain) which he received (on the earth)." [Sahih Bukhari (4/153) No. 3398]
-to establish kingship in Islam is bid’ah in manhaj
-to say when a man commits zina or drinks alcohol he becomes a kaffir is bid’ah in aqeeda

-to recite Quran over dead bodies is bid’ah in fiqh
-praying to grave inhabitants and asking for things is bid’ah and makes you a kaffir
Ibn Taymiyyah said (when refuting the view of those who quoted ‘Umar’s words “What a good innovation this is” as meaning that innovation (bid’ah) is permissible): "With regard to qiyaam in Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) introduced this to his ummah, and he led them in prayer for a number of nights, because at his time they used to pray in congregation and individually. But he did not persist in leading them in one congregation, lest that be made obligatory for them. When the Prophet (ﷺ) died, shariah was established (and would not change after that). When ‘Umar (RA) became caliph, he united them behind one imam, Ubayy ibn Ka’b, who united the people in one congregation on the orders of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA). ‘Umar (RA) was one of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, of whom the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs after me; cling tightly to it.” So what he did was Sunnah but he said, “What a good innovation this is,” because it was an innovation in the linguistic sense, as they were doing something that they had not done during the life of the Messenger of Allah (SAW), i.e., gathering to do this, but it is Sunnah in the shar’i sense.” [Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (22/234-235)]
IS THERE SUCH A THING AS BIDAH HASANA?
-there is no such thing as a good bid’ah
-prophet said every bid’ah is a going astray
-to build a minaret is called maslahah (public interest) it identifies the masjid
-when you establish a bid’ah the curse of the people who practise it falls on you
-when you establish a Sunnah you get the blessing of those who practise it
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever starts a good thing in Islam, and others do likewise after him, there will be written for him a reward like that of those who followed him, without it detracting in the least from their reward. Whoever starts a bad thing in Islam, and others do likewise after him, there will be written for him a burden of sin like that of those who followed him, without it detracting in the least from their burden.'" [Sahih Muslim (4/2059) No. 1017]
Imam Ahmad (bin Hanbal) said that "The principles of Islam are based on three hadith: the hadith of 'Umar that "deeds are judged only by intention," the hadith of 'A'isha, "Whoever introduces into our affairs that which does not belong, it is rejected," and the hadith of al-Nu'man b. Bashir, "The licit is clear and the illicit is clear." [Jama' ul-Uloom al-Hukum, Ibn Rajab (1/61)]
