346 <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Sound</strong> <strong>Creed</strong> Chapter Four Muslim Nation and Innova<strong>to</strong>rs The Adherents of the Sunnah and Muslim Community still refute all the arguments of innova<strong>to</strong>rs and reject their bid'ahs (acts innovated in religion). They also make it hard for them <strong>to</strong> practice such bid' ahs. The following are but few examples ofthe Muslims' stances against such innovations: 1. Ummud-Darda' reported: '1ibud-Darda' entered the house in a rage, so I said <strong>to</strong> him, 'What makes you angry?' He replied, 'By Allah! I do not find the followers ofMub.ammad doing (those good things which they used <strong>to</strong> do before) except offering of congregational prayer.' " 2. 'Amr Ibn Yabya reported on the authority ofhis father that his grandfather ('Amr Ibn Salamah) said: "We were sitting by the door of 'Abdulldh Ibn Mas 'ud before the Subb. (Morning) Prayer waiting for him until he would get out that we could walk with him <strong>to</strong> the mosque. Abu Musa AI-Ash 'art came <strong>to</strong> us and said, 'Has Abu 'Abdur-Rab.man (meaning 'Abdullah Ibn Mas 'ud) come <strong>to</strong> you?' We replied, 'Not yet: So, he sat with us until 'Abdullah Ibn Mas 'udgot out. When he got out, we all s<strong>to</strong>od and Abu MUsa said <strong>to</strong> him, '0 Abu 'Abdur-Rab.man! I have seen in the mosque something which I disliked, despite the seeming good of what I have seen.' 'Abdullah said, 'What is it?'Abu Musa said, 'Ifyou live, you will see it.' AndAbu Musa added, 'I saw in the mosque some people sitting in circles waiting for prayer having pebbles in their hands. In every circle of those circles, there was a man saying <strong>to</strong> them, 'Say ~llah is the Greatest' one hundred times'so they would say so. Then, he would say, 'Say 'There is no deity but Allah' one hundred times'so they would say so. After that, he would say, 'Exalt Allah one hundred times' and they would exalt Allah. Thereupon, 'Abdullah said <strong>to</strong> him, 'Why have you not ordered them <strong>to</strong> count their evil deeds and guaranteed that nothing oftheir good deeds will be missed?' Then he ('Abdullah) went and we went along with him until he reached one ofthose circles and s<strong>to</strong>od by them and said, 'What is that thing I see you doing?' They replied, '0 Abu 'Abdur-Rab.man! These are pebbles by which we count (the number ofutterances) declaring the Greatness ofAllah, that there is no deity but Allah, exalting Allah, and praising Allah: He said <strong>to</strong> them, 'Then count your evil deeds for I guarantee that nothing ofyour
Conclusion 347 good deeds will be missed. Woe un<strong>to</strong> you, 0 nation ofMuhammad! How rapidly you are going <strong>to</strong> be ruined! These are his (the Prophet's) Companions who are many; and these are his clothes that have not been tattered yet and his vessels have not been broken yet (he wonders that the Prophet (PBUH) died not long ago and they innovate matters in religion). By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you either are maintaining a religion that is more guiding than that ofMuh.ammad or you are on a way that leads <strong>to</strong> going astray!'s They said, '0 Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! By Allah, we intended nothing but good: He said, 'Many are those who intend what is good but do not achieve it! Allah's Messenger (PBUH) <strong>to</strong>ld us that some people will recite the Quriln but it will not excee4 their throats (i.e., they will not act on it). By Allah, I think the most of those people may be from amongst you: Then he ('Abdullah) left them. 'Amr Ibn Salamah added, 'We saw most of those people (circulating in the mosque) fighting us on the Day of(the Battle of) Nahrawan (a place in Iraq) with the Kharijites," (Related by Ad-Darimi) 3. A man came <strong>to</strong> Imam Malik Ibn Anas (may Allah have mercy on him) and said, "From where should I commence the state ofihram 6?" He said, "You should commence the state ofil1ram from the place assigned by the Prophet (PBUH)." The man asked again, "What ifI observe ihram from a remoter place?" Thereupon, Malik replied, ''] do not agree with that view." Then the man asked, "What is detestable in that?" Malik answered, ''] am afraid that you may fall in<strong>to</strong> error." The man asked, "What error may be expected if I do more than what is obliga<strong>to</strong>ry?" Malik said, ''Almighty Allah says, ~•• So let those beware who dissent from his [i.e., the Prophet's] order, lest fltnah strike them or a painful punishment: (Qur'an: An -Nu.r: 63) What error may be held graver than innovating an additional good deed not enacted by Allah's Messenger (PBUH)." These are but a few examples of innovative bid'ahs which are always rejected by scholars everywhere and at all times.
