Refuting the Sufis on the classification of bid'ah (religious innovation) and the meaning of the hadith: "Whoever introduces a good practice in Islam"

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a questioner from outside this country who says: The Sufis in our country say that you have equated us with the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah), the disbelievers, and the Christians, while we say the word of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). They oppose us and fight us, or rather, they openly confront us. They say we are Muslims, and that bid'ah (religious innovation) includes what is good and what is bad.

Answer:
This is a lie. All bid'ah (religious innovation) is bad. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He never said in it that there is a good bid'ah. This is what they said; there is no good bid'ah. Meaning, he revived a sunnah (recommended practice) that people had forgotten; he revived it. This means that people were abandoning a sunnah (recommended practice) or forgetting it, and he revived it, so he became the cause of reviving the sunnah (recommended practice). The hadith has a context: a group of people were in need and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to express their need to him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered charity to be given to them. So a man came with a bundle of gold that his hand was unable to carry, or nearly so, and he placed it before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The people followed one another in giving charity when they saw this. The face of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) brightened, and he said: So the hadith clarifies that its meaning is: whoever revives an abandoned sunnah (recommended practice) gets its reward and the reward of everyone who acts upon it. As for whoever introduces a bid'ah (religious innovation), he is sinful, and there is no good bid'ah. Yes.
