Saying of Ibn al-Qayyim (RA):



Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah ta'ala) said:

“And let him not be of those who invent new matters [into the Deen], for whenever such a thing emerges from such a man, he seeks to find a proof for what he is doing. So he induces himself to do the impossible, searching for a proof for what he has brought out – whether valid or baseless – in order to beautify his innovation and his invention. And worse than that, is that he fabricates it – attributing it to some written text that has been conveyed about it. So he desires to beautify that with truth and falsehood.” [Al-Ibaanah, by Ibn Battah, 2/472]
