This is a question I believe that was asked of Shaykh Saaleh al-Luhaydaan.(rahimahullah Ta'ala) at the end of a lesson from a series he delivered in Riyadh for the Westerns on the explanation of Kitab at-Tawheed. This particular lesson was translated by Mustafa George (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).
The question was downloaded from a post on the X account attributed to our shaykh. I was then digitally edited, before being posted below, walhamdulillah.
He (rahimahullah Ta'ala) was asked:
Is the one who is the innovator, worse than the kafir (disbeliever)?
He (rahimahullah Ta'ala) gave the following answer:
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
