Undue Weight on Nico Kapteins "hypothesis"

I have recently removed an inclusion by a relatively new editor due to undue weight (WP:RSUW) one author's, Nico Kapteins hypothesis. I think such undue weight makes neutrality (WP:NPOV) impossible in the article. Especially since his hypothesis is already summarized in the paragraph below.

Not a day celebrated at the time of the prophet ﷺ nor in the times of the Salaf as Salih (righteous predecessors).

This is highly problematic:

“The history of this celebration goes back to the early days of Islam when some of the Tabi‘un began to hold sessions in which poetry and songs composed to honour Muhammad were recited and sung to the crowds.”

Because it deceives the ignorant reader into thinking that “poetry and songs” were recited in that particular day, as a celebration by the Tabi’un. While that is obviously not the case at all, poetry in his honor was recited the whole year around, there is nothing proven from the authentic Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ nor the authentic sunnah of the predecessors that they took part in this celebration on this particular day.

On the authority of the mother of the faithful, Aisha (ra), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “He who innovates something in this matter of ours (i.e., Islam) that is not of it will have it rejected (by Allah).” [Bukhari & Muslim] In another version in Muslim it reads: “He who does an act which we have not commanded, will have it rejected (by Allah).”

Allah ﷻ says in Ma’idah verse 3:

“….This day I have perfected for you your and completed my favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion…” Anon1777 (talk) 16:56, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

False Information

"Most denominations of Islam approve of the commemoration of Muhammad's birthday" The citation number [7] for this ironically states in the abstract that most in fact do not approve, and the second citation [8] does not refer to a primary resource regarding the religion of Islam but instead a broadly vague text which generally discusses all religions. The quoted claim is categorically false, a simple youtube or google search will completely invalidate it. The Prophet (pbuh) implicitly disapproved of large festival-esq celebrations other than the two Eids (Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1134) 74.215.221.14 (talk) 02:34, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
