Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner asks: Is there evidence in the hadith of Abu Ja'far for refuting those who innovate in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and rebuking them?
The Shaykh:
Refuting whom?
The questioner:
Is there evidence in the hadith of Abu Ja'far for refuting those who innovate?
The Shaykh:
Leave it.
The questioner:
Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
How did the innovator innovate? Yes, he is rebuked and treated harshly, and he is prevented from the bid'ah (religious innovation). But the hadith of Abu Ja'far is about the one who refutes the Sunnah or says, "It is not sufficient for me," or something similar—meaning the one who belittles the Sunnah and says, "It is not sufficient for me." That is the one it refutes. As for innovation, that is not permissible. Yes.
