Umer.
Except a dream which Bukhari and Ibn Kathir in Fath recognise as mursal you dont have anything recorded from the Sahaba Radhi Allah Unhum to be celebrating the Prophets birthday.
So i will repeat my question again.
we know that the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) were the people who loved the Prophet most. Was it reported that Abu Bakr, who was the closest of people to him and the one who loved him the most, celebrated the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? Was it reported that ‘Umar, who ruled for twelve years, or ‘Uthmaan, did this? Was it reported that ‘Ali, his relative and foster son, did this? Was it reported that any of the Sahaabah did this?
But we do know this
“Do not exaggerate about me as the Christians exaggerated about the son of Maryam. I am only a slave, so say, ‘The slave of Allaah and His Messenger.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari).
And also
[قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ - قُلْ أَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ ]
(31. Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me (i.e. Muhammad), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'') (32. Say: "Obey Allah and the Messenger.'' But if they turn away, then Allah does not like the disbelievers.)
Surah Al-Imran
SO if this was ever celebrating as yall do going bonkers and what not and was a very good deed that secret would have been told by Rasool Allah Sallaho Alahi Wa Ala Aalayhi Wasallam. However it wasnt so did Rasool Allah Sallaho Alahi Wa Aalayhi Wa Sallam miss out a good deed and never told it to the awam ? ( u will sound like Shias when they say qadeer-e-Qum )
The people who loved him the most didnt do it or atleast you have no relevant or even specific proof for it.
We however on the other hand do have a proof for it most of the things that you will say are bidah. You have the audacity to say that Umar Al Khattab Radhi Allah Uuhu was endorsing Biddah Hasana even though in his entire life Ameer al Momineen Radhi Allah Unhu was beheading bidah at its roots.
You quote Bilal Radhi Allah Unhu but that action of his has an approval from Rasool Allah Sallaho Alahi Wa Aalayhi Wa Sallam and you dont !!
The proof what the Sahaba did isnt not a bidah is the following
“The best of mankind are my generation (or my century), then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will not care if their testimony comes before their oath or vice versa (i.e., they will not take such matter seriously).” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Muslim and al-Tirmidhi).
Ya ibn Hilal
To learn your deen you need to learn the language in which it was revealed not in the language of Deen-e-Ilahi
