Dear friends, unless we can define sunnah we cannot define bidah. Deen means nizaam or management system for mankind. It is about managing people and resources for reason of production and distribution of things that people need or want as per divine advice so that people have a great life in this world in the hope of even better next life. Islam is a deen not a mazhab.
In quranic context sunnah does not mean each and every word, deed or no reaction by prophet when he witnesses something by someone. However, this is the way most people define sunnah but it is not correct in light of the quran and the realities of life itself. There is no verse in the quran that tells us follow the sunnah of the prophet but there are verses that tell us be consistent with the prophet and other verses make it very clear that it means supporting him sincerely in his mission. This explains what following the prophet means. It is like children follow their parents, it is like followers follow their leaders. All this comes down to supporting parents or leaders in what they need help with. Since a prophet is sent with a mission that is where he needs cooperation of people and their help to establish the divine system for mankind. Children copying words and deeds or movements of their parents or followers doing the same helps no one. In islam all divine instructions are given to serve some purposes. So trying to define sunnah in a way that it cannot be defined nor it serves any purpose whatsoever and instead causes divisions in ummah is therefore nonsensical and problematic.

Once we know what sunnah can be and what it definitely cannot be, we can know which so called ahadith are definitely made up no matter who narrated them or for whatever purpose.
You will see me stating very clearly that many reports called ahadith of the prophet are actually invented and likewise I state that many so called shariah laws found in fiqh books are also invented and they are anti islam. They suited ruling elite and their mullahs because by using them they controlled masses and used and abused them always. This is how islam becomes very clear from whatever falsehood people attribute to it. These enemies of islam tried their best to cover up islam but they always failed because every now and against someone from ummah pointed out these falsehoods to the ummah even at risking one's neck. Kings and their mullahs never took their opposition that easily. We should never forget what such people did to prophet's own family.

Likewise I also explained that it is this imperialism and its mullahs who separated islam in to two components calling them religion and country or religion and state or religion and secularism or deeno duniya etc. By this separation mullahs became rulers in the name of religion and kings became rulers in the name country.
We have no choice but to accept this historical reality and get over it and get on with life for better future. It were these very mullahs who invented stories about shaane nuzool of verses and destroyed the NAZM in the quranic text. It is for this reason today we have difficulty in trying to recover that original context. It is because when you teach children things one way and then you find that it was all wrong and then you need to learn and teach thing another way it becomes very difficult to unwind and reprogram.
It is because term sunnah has been pushed in to our minds for so long we have become indoctrinated with it so any other meaning will only make sense once we consciously make a strong effort to understand things by reasons. It is like you have been driving on the left hand side and suddenly you are in a country where you must drive on the right hand side. Now you must drive consciously ie fully alert.
So all sunni and shia friends need to give this matter their full attention urgently. It will be good idea to ask questions regarding sunnah of the ulema in order to help them realise what they preach and teach in the name of islam so that at least future generations could be saved from this wrong kind of indoctrination. At least we all can agree on something about islam.
regards and all the best.
