Worshiping Allaah The Night Before ‘Eid Is A Biddah, By Sh. Mashhoor Hasan Aal Salmaa

[TheAuthenticBase]

Many Khutabah and callers unto Allāh (swt) recommend people and urge them to seek Allāh’s (swt) closeness through spending the night preceding the two Eids doing acts of worship. They, however, depend on no authentic proof. These so called “Shaikhs” even ascribe this recommendation to the Prophet (saw) to have said:

‘Whoever spends the night preceding the two Eid days doing acts of worship, his/her heart will never die on the day when all hears will die’.(1)
​

This hadīth is forged and should never be ascribed to the Prophet (saw) and hence the prohibition of applying it and calling people for it.

good link bro..
The hadiths isnaad[passing from person 2 person or chain] is da’eef[week]
Hence called a weak hadith...
im just summarizing frm that site.. a hadith hafiz[scholor] wil know this better.

Allah knows best

How can salaat, dua, ibadat -- regardless of the time of day -- be bidah?

We are supposed to be in a constant state of ibadat. We should be making dua all the time.

But if we do it the night before Eid it is suddenly bidah????

:salam2:

That is if we * single out * the night of the 2 Eids to worship Allah taala believing that there are specific virtues/merts (which btw are not proved by any authentic hadeeth) in doing these acts of worship than in other nights. This would constitute an innovation.
