Ahlul Bid'ah

Her is a SaHeeH (Authentic) hadeeth showing the view of the Ahl Al-Bayt (عليهم السلام) against Ahl Al-Bid`ah (People of Innovation). Within this hadeeth it has the famous narration from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). This hadeeth shows us that we must watch out who we befriend and associate with.


أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَصْحَبُوا أَهْلَ الْبِدَعِ وَ لَا تُجَالِسُوهُمْ فَتَصِيرُوا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَرْءُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ وَ قَرِينِهِ
From `Umar bin Yazeed from Abee `Abd Allaah (عليه السلام) that he said: “Do not befriend the Ahl Al-Bid`ah (People of Innovation), and do not sit with them, so you may become like one of them (according) to the people. The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: ‘A man is upon the religion of his friends and associates’”
