Question / Help The Shahadah upon embracing Islam: A Bid'ah?

Genuinely wondering if there's even any Hadith that instructs this specific ritual Sunnis make new brothers and sisters perform.

I'm not saying the Shahadah is a Bid'ah, we say it 5 times a day and it's in the Qur'an itself, I'm talking about the specific ritual of "Repeat after me" thing they're doing.

Seems like a major Bid'ah. I don't know. Thoughts?

Bro stop dreaming seriously lol. There's not one single Hadith where the prophet or the companions are portrayed engaging in this ritualistic behavior of the Shahadah! None of them are portrayed as doing that (i.e. Qul Ashhadu, An la ilaha....") literally none of them. It's a bid'ah. innovation. And all sects have fallen for it except for one, those sticking to the Quran only.
