<p>The relationship between majorities and minorities in Islamic discourse is a result of the seizure of an authentic Islam. The discourse of authentic Islam in the history of Islamic society, rooted in the concept of heresy. This concept appeared due to the absence of religious authorities in a chaotic social dynamic. In the social political history of Islamic society, the <em>ahlul hadith</em> are the people who are responsible in introducing the concept of heresy as the opponent of the concept of <em>sunna</em>. This was motivated by the spirit of religiousity and the complexity of political nuance. As a result, the early Islamic historical discourse in the medieval was dominated by the opposition between heresy (bid’ah) narration and <em>sunna</em>. Through this opposition mainstreaming, the <em>ahlul hadith</em> stands as the narrators of the authentic Islam. In the contrary, religious narration outside the <em>ahlul hadith</em> is recognized as <em>ahl al-ahwa’ wa al-bida’. </em>This pejorative recognition, at the same time declared the victory of the <em>ahlul hadith</em> in propagating the authentic Islam and marked the emergence of opposition movement. This paper focuses on questions regarding the origin of heresy narration, the <em>sunna</em> and the discourse of authentic Islam. Methodically, some focuses will be analyzed by investigating the term of <em>ahl al-ahwa’ wa al-bida’ </em>used by the early <em>ahlul hadith</em> as mentioned in ‘<em>ulum al-hadith</em>’s books<em>.</em></p>
