Ayat
18. The parable of those
who disbelieve in their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind
blows furiously on a stormy day, they shall not be able to get aught of what
they have earned. That is the straying, far away (from the Right Path).
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah 
[SAWW](PBUH) and the first four noble caliphs. It strictly
forbids innovation in Deen. This Hadith also reveals the prediction of the
Prophet (PBUH) that the Muslim Ummah will become a victim of dissension. He also
prescribed the right means to counteract it. The remedy that he has proposed for
this problem is that Muslims should never deviate from the path laid for them by
him and his righteous successors. This is the touchstone for discovering the
truth from the mess of different views. All the troubles of Muslims would come
to an end if they accept this as the one singular criterion of right and
wrong.
Hazrat Irbad bin Sariyah (May Allah be pleased
with him) reported: One day Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) delivered us a very eloquent Khutbah on account of
which eyes shed tears and hearts were full of tears. A man said: "O Prophet of
Allah, this is as if it were a parting advice. So advise us". He [SAWW](PBUH) said, "I admonish you to fear Allah, to listen and
obey even if an Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader. Because whosoever
among you shall live after me, will see much discord. So hold fast to my Sunnah
and the examples of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs who will come after me. Adhere to
them and hold to it fast. Beware of new things (in Deen) because every Bid`ah is
a misguidance". [Abu Dawud Hadith # 4607 and At-Tirmidhi Hadith #
2676].
