Bidat

 [Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 764: ]Narrated Rifa’a bin Rafi AzZuraqi: One day we were praying behind the Prophet. When he raised his head from bowing, he said, “Sami’a-l-lahu Liman hamida.” A man behind him said, “Rabbana walaka-l hamd hamdan Kathiran taiyiban mubarakan fihi” (O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and blessed praises). When the Prophet completed the prayer…he asked, “Who has said these words?” The man replied, “I.” The Prophet said, “I saw over thirty angels competing to write it first.” Prophet rose (from bowing) and stood straight till all the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position. This is a bidah in salat itself but the Prophet (ﷺ) didn’t criticize the Sahaba (Ra) for it, He approved it because of Niyah alone .

The Tabi Thabit al-Bunani said he used to go to Anas Ibn Malik, kiss his hands, and say: “These are hands that touched the Prophet. ” He would kiss his eyes and say: “These are eyes that saw the Prophet.”Abu Ya`la in his Musnad (6:211) ,al-Haythami declared it sound in Majma` al-zawa’id (9:325).Tabi`i Thabit al-Bunani did it and invented this new practice from his own, No one objected because it wasnt against principles of Shariah ,

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 159] It was Abdullah bin Salam’s (ra) own opinion that a House, in which Rasool Allah [ﷺ] had entered, became blessed. And other people must also enter in it in order to obtain blessings.

(about the day of Ashura) ‘Abdullah (ra) did not observe fast except when it coincided (with the days when he was in the habit of observing voluntary fasts during every month).[Sahih Muslim Book 006, Number 2507] Hadrat ibn Umar (ra) invented this new practice on his own in Islam on fasting on those specific days, He wasn’t asked by Sahabas (ra) to do it nor by Prophet (ﷺ) ever .

[bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 39: ] during the caliphate of ‘Uthman(ra), he introduced a third Adhan (on Friday for the Jumua prayer) ……

Abu Hurayra(ra) urged some people to pray 2 raka’ahs in Masjid Ashaar and told them to say after the prayers, “Haaza li Abi Hurayra”. This is for Abu Hurayra (Abu Dawud vol 2 p236) .

praying Salat for some one else is a biddah in that case salat is part of Deen of Islam, its a pillar and Great Sahabi (Rah) added some thing from his own which wasn’t practised before, this proves without a shadow of doubt that biddah are Good (hasina,Wajid, mubah) and Bad(zalalah,maqruh,haram) ,

Sahih Bukhari Book 32 Volume 3 Hadith 227—– ….”  ‘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(‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Abdul Qari) 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 (continues)

Ibne Umar (ra) said: Its an innovation and a Good innovation.(about chast prayer) [Ibn Abu Shayba Volume 002, Hadith Number 7775]Some do argue that Chast is a sunnah proved from many hadiths and not a biddah .

When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them. “Allow me to offer a two-Rak’at prayer.”——–It was Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is executed) Volume 5, Book 59, Number 325 (Sahih Bukhari)

the new things are to be checked with principles of Shariah. All the above-mentioned Sahaba introduced a new action according to their own Opinions,due to love with Prophet (saw) while they thought these new actions in complete harmony with the principles of Islam.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
