Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about the hadith:Sahih Muslim 1017a, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 6:216 until the Day of Resurrection. What are the examples of these phrases in this hadith?
Answer:
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 6:216 means reviving a sunnah that people had forgotten; he revived it, reminded them of it, and acted upon it. Likewise, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 6:216 is the bid'ah (religious innovation). The bad sunnah is the bid'ah for which [Yusuf 12:40] he bears its sin and the sin of everyone who acts upon it, because he is the one who introduced it and misled the people with it. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about the hadith:
He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is a reward for him for this
من سن سنة حسنة فله أجرهاAnd whoever introduces a bad sunnah will bear its burden
ومن سن سنة سيئة كان عليه وزرهاAnswer:
Whoever introduces a good sunnah
من سن سنة حسنةWhoever introduces a bad sunnah
من سن سنة سيئةfor which Allah has sent down no authority
مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ
