عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الرَّحَبِيِّ عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الشُّمَالِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا أَسْمَاءَ! إِنَّا قَدْ أَجْمَعْنَا النَّاسَ عَلَى أَمْرَيْنِ، قَالَ: وَمَا هُمَا؟ قَالَ: رَفْعُ الْأَيْدِي عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْقَصَصُ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ وَالْعَصْرِ، فَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّهُمَا أَمْثَلُ بِدْعَتَيْكُمْ عِنْدِي وَلَسْتُ مُجِيبَكَ إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْهُمَا، قَالَ: لِمَ؟ قَالَ: لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَا أَحْدَثَ قَوْمٌ بِدْعَةً إِلَّا رُفِعَ مِثْلُهَا مِنَ السُّنَّةِ، فَتَمَسُّكٌ بِسُنَّةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ إِحْدَاثِ بِدْعَةٍ))
Ghudaif bin Harith Shumali, may Allah have mercy on him, says: Abdul Malik bin Marwan summoned me. When I went, he said: "O Abu Asma! We have united the people upon two things." I asked: "What are those?" He said: "Raising hands on the pulpits on the day of Jumu'ah and storytelling after the Fajr and Asr prayers." I said: "In my view, these are the two best examples of your innovations, and I will not do any of them." He asked: "Why?" I replied: "Because the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Whenever a people invent a bid'ah (innovation), a sunnah of equal measure will be taken away from them. Thus, holding fast to the sunnah is better than inventing a bid'ah.'"
