حدّثنا الأزاعّ، عن حسان قال: ما ابتدع قوم بدعة في دينهم إلّا نزع الله من سنّتهم مثلها، ثمّ لا يعيدها إليهم إلى يوم القيامة
Hassan (ibn ‘Atiyyah) (d.120) said: “People do not introduce an innovation in their religion except that Allāh withdraws it’s like from the Sunnah. Then, it will not return to them until the Day of Resurrection.” (Sunan Ad-Dārimī 101, Sahīh according to Shu’ayb Arnaūt)
واعلم أنّ الناس لم يبتدعوا بدعة قطّ حتّى تركوا من السنّة مثلها
Imām Barbahārī (d.329) said: “Know that people never introduced an innovation until they abandoned the like of it from the Sunnah.” (Sharh as-Sunnah of al-Barbahārī)
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzān said: “This is because the sunnah and innovation cannot co-exist except that one of them will eliminate the other. Therefore, a person cannot be an innovator and a Sunnī, rather he is either an innovator or a Sunnī. This is one of the dangers of innovation.” (Sharh as-Sunnah of al-Barbahārī)
