Bidat
Imam Ibn Hajr al Haytami (Rahimuhullah)— All innovations are evil and all evil are in hell fire, This hadith will be applied forBidat al Muhrima (i.e. category of haram innovations only) not others.[Imam Ibn Hajr al-Haytami in Fatawa al Hadithiyyah, Page No. 203]
Volume 3, Book 49, Number 861:
(Sahih Bukhari) “If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony
with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected.” hence new innovations which are not in
“Harmony” with the principles of religion will be Bidat al Dhalalah otherwise
they will be Bidat al Hassanah.
He who introduced some good practice in Islam which was followed after him (by
people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their
rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who introduced some evil practice
in Islam which had been followed subsequently (by others), he would be required
to bear the burden like that of one who followed this (evil practice) without
their’s being diminished in any respect. [Sunan Tirmidhi Volume 005, Hadith
Number 2675]
The above hadith context refers
to reviving any Good practice which is in coherence with Quran and Shariah, It
can be a Sunnah which sahabas (Ra) revived or salafs revived or can be any
other good practice within laws of shariah
EXAMPLES of Good Innovations by
Sahabas (ra) and Prophet (ﷺ) approving them
Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 533: Rasool (ﷺ)never told that person to say “Qulho Wallaho Ahad” repeatedly. That Sahabi did it according to his own opinion as it was totally in harmony with the principles of religion.
Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 21, Number
250: Narrated Abu Huraira:At the time of the Fajr prayer the Prophet asked
Bilal, “Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I
heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise.” Bilal replied, “I
did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution
during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written
for me.”
Ibn Hajar Asqalani says in Fath al-Bari that the hadith shows it is
permissible to use personal reasoning (ijtihad) in choosing times for acts of
worship
‘Uthman(ra) added, “If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Um Salama. I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet) and saw a few red hairs in it,”Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 784.
Thabit al-Bunani said: Anas ibn
Malik said to me (on his death-bed): “This is one of the hairs of
Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings and peace upon him. I want you to place it
under my tongue. “Thabit continued: I placed it under his tongue, and he
was buried with it under his tongue.”Narrated by Ibn Hajar in al-Isaba
fi tamyiz al-sahaba (Calcutta, 1853) 1:72 under “Anas Ibn Malik.”
Rasool Allah [ﷺ] never asked anyone to put his hair under his tongue while
getting buried. Ans bin Malik introduced this new Action according to his own
opinion, while he knew that there is a Barakah in the hairs of Rasool Allah
