An Excellent Reply To Mawlid Celebrators
روى البيهقي بسند صحيح عن سعيد بن المسيب أنَّه رأىٰ رجلاً يصلي بعد طلوع الفجر أكثر من ركعتين، يكثر فيها الركوع والسجود ؛ فنهاه ؛ فقال : يا أبا محمد! أيعذبني الله على الصلاة؟! قال : لا ، ولكن يُعذِّبُك علىٰ خِلافِ السُّنـَّة.
Narrated by al-Bayhaqī رحمه الله with a correct chain of narration that Imām Sa’īd b. Al-Musayyib رحمه الله once saw a man praying more than two (Sunnah) Rak’āt after the beginning of Fajr, making bows and prostrations abundantly in it, so he forbade him.
The man said, “O Abū Muḥammad, is Allāh going to punish me for praying?” the Imām replied: “No, but He will punish you for OPPOSING the Sunnah.”

A golden reply to those who ask “Will Allah ﷻ punish us for commemorating the birth of Prophet ﷺ?”, we say YES Allah ﷻ will punish those who innovate into His Deen, may Allah ﷻ grant us correct understanding of this religion and protect us from all kinds of innovations and misguidance,
Sh. al-Albānī رحمه الله said in its commentary: وهو سلاح قوي على المبتدعة (.. And this narration is a STRONG WEAPON against the innovators).
Now take a look at this Hadith:
حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة . حدثنا زيد بن الحباب عن عكرمة بن عمار . حدثني إياس بن سلمه الأكوع ؛ أن أباه حدثه ؛ أن رجلا أكل عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بشماله . فقال : “ كل بيمينك “ قال : لا أستطيع . قال : ” لا استطعت “ ما منعه إلا الكبر . قال : فما رفعها إلى فيه.
Salamah b. al-Akwa’ رضي الله عنه reported that a man was eating alongside the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with his left hand so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: “Eat with your right hand.”, he replied: “I am not able to.”, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “You will NOT be able to.”, nothing prevented him except for arrogance then Salamah said: “He was no longer able to lift his hand up to his (mouth).”
● [صحيح مسلم كتاب الأشربة لا يأكلن أحد منكم بشماله ولا يشربن بها ٢٠٢١]
If this is the punishment for the one who opposes Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ then what about those who innovate and add into his Shariah?
Reflect..
