The Importance of Not Introducing Innovations in Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of not introducing innovations in prayer.

Sa’d bin Tariq said: "I said to my father: 'O my father! You prayed behind the Messenger of Allah and behind Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman, and behind 'Ali here in Kufah for about five years. Did they recite Qunut in Fajr?’ He said: 'O my son! That is an innovation.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، وَحَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ، سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّكَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيٍّ هَا هُنَا بِالْكُوفَةِ، نَحْوًا مِنْ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ. فَكَانُوا يَقْنُتُونَ فِي الْفَجْرِ؟ فَقَالَ: أَىْ بُنَىَّ مُحْدَثٌ
