The fatamid shia invented the celebrations of the prophet's birthday, fatima's birthday, etc...
There is absolutely nothing in the qur'an or hadith proving this 'eid' in fact quite the contrary can be found negating any other eids except the two eids and the celebration of weddings.
Far too many hadith against innovations, against being like Christians and jews who elevate their prophets beyond what they were and the prophet (saw) said to this I am but a slave of Allah. After all did christians just not celebrate christmas? How are Muslims any better by being innovators? How did the christians get misguided? Through innovation. So quite clearly the prophet (saw) had wisdom in saying that every innovation is a misguidance and every misguidance is in the hellfire.
If you love the prophet (saw) emulate him every day, dont innovate and deviate the religion by innovating a new eid.
And yes all innovations start with 'good intentions'.
Like any sufi argument unfortunately it is not about proving things from hadith.. its about justifying what you decided to do through elusive out of context hadith.
For example from the very start of this thread, the prophet (saw) is quoted about monday being the day he is born and fasting... this has NOTHING to do with the innovated and invented celebration of the birthday of the prophet.. nothing.. you just quoted something out of context. Just one example. That's all you can do. You won't find any direct hadith proving that the sahaba 'celebrated the birthday of the prophet' because it didnt exist its an invented later matter by the shia that sufi/traditionalist sunnis adopted.
