1.5 Rejection of Blameworthy Innovation

١۔٥ إنكار البدع المذمومة

from Aishah: "Whoever introduces something into our matter that is not of it, it will be rejected." Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, and in another narration by Muslim, "Whoever does an action that is not in accordance with our matter, it will be rejected."

This hadith was recorded by the two compilers in the “two Ṣaḥīḥs” from the narration of al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad, from his paternal aunt ʿĀʾishah ᴿᴬ. The wording of the hadith varies, but its meaning is close. In some wordings: “Whoever introduces into our religion something that is not in it, it is rejected.”

عَنْ عائِشَةَ : «مَن أحْدَثَ فِي أمْرِنا هَذا ما لَيْسَ مِنهُ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ» رَواهُ البُخارِيُّ ومُسْلِمٌ وفِي رِوايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ «مَن عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أمْرُنا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ».

هذا الحديث خرّجاه في «الصحيحين» من حديث القاسم بن محمد، عن عمته عائشةرضي الله عنه، وألفاظ الحديث مختلفة، ومعناها متقارب، وفي بعض ألفاظه: «مَنْ أحدث في ديننا ما ليس فيه فهو ردّ».

An innovation in religion that is not in harmony with it is rejected

(5) bukhari:2697Yaʿqūb > Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd from his father > al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad > ʿĀʾishah

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever innovates something in this affair of ours that is not from it, then it is rejected."

It was narrated by ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar al-Makhramī and ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Abī ʿAwn from Saʿd ibn Ibrāhīm.

(٥) البخاري:٢٦٩٧حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ».

رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَخْرَمِيُّ وَعَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَوْنٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

An innovation in religion that is not in harmony with it is rejected

(5-2) muslim:1718aAbū Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. al-Ṣabbāḥ And ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAwn al-Hilālī > Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd > Ibn al-Ṣabbāḥ > Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿAwf from my father > al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad > ʿĀʾishah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever introduces into this matter of ours something that is not part of it, it is rejected.”

(٥-٢) مسلم:١٧١٨aحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ الْهِلاَلِيُّ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ ابْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ»۔

An deed that is not in harmony with the religion is rejected

(5-3) muslim:1718bIsḥāq b. Ibrāhīm And ʿAbd b. Ḥumayd > Abū ʿĀmir > ʿAbd > ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿAmr > ʿAbdullāh b. Jaʿfar al-Zuhrī > Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm > Saʾalt al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad

I asked al-Qasim b. Muhammad about a man who has three dwellings and bequeathed one third of each dwelling. He said: All of that is combined into a single dwelling. Then he said: Aishah told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever does a deed that is not in accordance with our command, it is rejected.”

(٥-٣) مسلم:١٧١٨bوَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ قَالَ عَبْدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةُ مَسَاكِنَ فَأَوْصَى بِثُلُثِ كُلِّ مَسْكَنٍ مِنْهَا قَالَ: يُجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ فِي مَسْكَنٍ وَاحِدٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلاً لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ».
