Hishaam Ibn Urwah: Do not question the people about what they have newly invented today, but question them…

كان هشام بن عروة يقول: لا تسألوا الناس اليوم عما أحدثوه فإنهم قد أعدوا له جوابا، ولكن سلوهم عن السنة فإنهم لا يعرفونها

Hishaam Bin Urwah (rahimahullaah) used to say:

”Do not question the people about what they have newly invented today (i.e. bidah), for indeed they have prepared answers for it. But question them about the Sunnah for indeed they do not know it.”
