Pearls of Grace - On Acts of Worship - Saying of Shaykh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [Rahimahullah]
it has been confirmed on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he said:
"Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam) that which is not from it, will have it rejected" [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh Muslim/1718].
Verily the best of speech is the Book of Allaah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam), and the worst of matters are newly invented ones. And every newly invented matter is an innovation. And every innovation is in the Fire.
'Abdullaah Ibn Mas'ood said: Follow and do not innovate, for indeed you have been sufficed. [Reported authentically in Ad-Daarimee (no.211) At-Tabaraanee in Al-Kabeer (no. 8870), Al Bayhaqee (no. 204), Ibn Wadaah in Bid'ah Wan Nahee 'Anhaa (p. 10), and also from Qataadah on (p.11). Also related by Abee Khaythamah in Al Ilm (no. 54).
