Innovations are more beloved to Shaytan than sin

 Image result for bid'ah
Sufyan ath-Thawri رحمه الله said,

"Innovations are more beloved to Shaytan than sin, since a sin may be repented from but an innovation is not repented from."

[Sharh Usul I'tiqad of al-Lalika'i (d. 414H) no.238, the great 4th century Imam who wrote on the belief of Ahlus-Sunnah] This is because the innovator believes he is doing something good and therefore sees no need to repent.

He also said,

" ... so cling to the original state of affairs,"

[Al-Hilya, 6/376] meaning the way of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم, and his companions.
