When We Hear of Legendary Acts of Worship
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
We come across stories, authentic and inauthentic, of the great efforts made by people in the past in matters of worship. In some of [these] are [descriptions] of efforts that were excessive, or in fact, in opposition to prophetic guidance.
The guideline [to follow] regarding worship being good and correct, after [making sure] it’s been done for Allāh alone, is [making sure] it’s in accordance with his ﷺ guidance.
He ﷺ is the one who said: “Whoever inclines to other than my way is not from me.”

تمر بنا من قصص اجتهاد السابقين في أمر العبادة ما يصح وما لا يصح، وفي بعض ذلك من الاجتهاد المبالغ فيه؛ بل والمخالف للهدي النبوي.
والضابط في صلاح العبادة وصحتها، بعد الإخلاص لله أن تكون على هديه ﷺ وهو القائل ﷺ :ومن رغب عن سنتي فليس مني.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) February 25, 2022
