Salam,

Could someone explain the hadith : "Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error." (Abu Dawud)

It seems confusing because novelty and bidah as I understand essentially means "new". If I were to apply that meaning to the narration then it would mean: ".........for every *new matter* is an *new matter*, and every *new matter* is an error." Which does not make it a proper meaningful sentence.

Brother

I want to add a question with u, which type of Bid‘ah did they perform mentioned in following hadith?

Bukhari: Volume 8, Book 76, Number 584:

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "Some of my companions will come to me at my Lake Fount, and after I recognize them, they will then be taken away from me, whereupon I will say, 'My companions!' Then it will be said, 'You do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you."
