Sincere and Correct
Al-Fudayl b. ‘Ayyâd [187H] – Allah have mercy on him – said:
“Allah ‘azza wa jalla accepts only those deeds which are both correct and sincere (pure). If the deed is done correctly but not sincerely, it will not be accepted. And if it is sincere but not correct, it will not be accepted.” He was asked, “Abû ‘Alî! What is the sincere and correct deed?” He replied, “The sincere deed is one that is done only for Allah ‘azza wa jall. And the correct deed is one done according to the Sunnah.”

Imâm Mâlik and Heretics
Imâm Al-Shâfi’î said:
Whenever any people of desires (heretics) came to Mâlik he would say to them, “As for me, I am upon clarity as regards my religion. As for you, you are a doubter, go and argue with another doubter like yourself.”
Al-Dhahbî in Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ’ under the biography of Imâm Mâlik.
Who speaks Wisdom?
Abû ‘Uthmân Sa’îd b. Ismâ’îl Al-Naysâbûrî (d290H) said: Whoever governs himself by the Sunnah – in word and deed – will speak with wisdom. But whoever governs himself according to his own desires will speak heresies (bid’ah); because Allah tabâraka wa ta’âlâ said: And if you obey him (the Messenger) you will be guided. [Sûrah Al-Nûr: 54] Abû Nu’aym in Al-Hilyah Vol.10 p244, and others. After mentioning this and other similar narrations Shaykh Al-Islâm Ibn Taymîyah said (Minhâj Al-Sunnah Vol.5 p117): It is as they said, for if a person does not follow what the Messenger came with he will act according to his own wishes. Thus he will be one who follows his desires without guidance from Allah.
Ibn Umar on Bidah [Hasanah]
‘Abdullah b. ‘Umar – Allah be pleased with them both – said:
Every bid’ah (religious innovation) is misguidance, even if people think it is good.
