I understand my respected brother, I truly do May Allah be pleased with you Aameeen
still want you to understand my point: wearing the kufi or Emaamah wasn't a special deed of the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) it was the habit and custom in that time...
and above you said:

saying that intentionally removing the headgear; performing the salaah bare-headed is
contrary to the sunnah means that whoever does that is doing something wrong and haraam cause doing something against the sunnah is haraam and we don't wanna burden the believers with such ruling which is not exist.
Brother Muhammad May Allah be pleased with him opened my eyes and reminded me after Allah of explaining for my brothers and sister that imitating the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in whatever he had done and said out of love of the Rasoolullah (Alyhi Assalaatu Wa Assalaam) may be rewarded from Allah Sub'haanahu Wa Ta'aalaa.
Rasool Allah (salla Allahu alyhi wa sallam) loved the pumpkin and used to pick it from the dish:
“Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha heard Anas ibn Malik say that a certain tailor invited the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to eat some food which he had prepared. Anas said, "I went with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to eat the food. He served barley bread and a soup with pumpkin in it. I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, going after the pumpkin around the dish, so I have always liked pumpkin since that day."” (Malik, Book 28, Hadith 28.21.51 )
Anas b. Malik reported that a person invited Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to a meal. I also went along with him. He brought soup containing pumpkin. Allah's 'messenger (may peace be upon him) ate that pumpkin with relish. He (Anas) said: When I saw that I began to place it before him, and did not eat it (myself). Anas said: It was since then that pumpkin was always my favourite (food). (Muslim, Book 23, Hadith 5068)
Anas (ra) reported that “The Prophet used to like pumpkin. He was brought some food and invited to eat. I picked up the pumpkin in the plate and put it before him because I knew he liked it.” (Tirmidhi)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) loved the pumpkin and used to eat it; the Sahaabi Anas (Radiya Allahu Anhu) realized that and for his love of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) started loving and eating pumpkin since then. Now the question is: eating the pumpkin was a deed of Rasool Allah (Salla Allahu Alyhi Wa Sallam); do I have to eat it too? and if not eating it then am I doing something contrary to the sunnah?
have you understood me my respected brother? waAllahi I don't mean to stop anyone from doing any kind of good deeds nor I want to argue or going against what is written above I just wanna explain for you to understand and all of you...
there are differences between the deeds that we must follow the prophet in (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and by leaving them we do sin;those are which he ordered us to do strictly and between the deeds which are from Sunnah but we have the free will of doing them or not (by doing them will get the reward by leaving it we are not sinning) like the nafl of salah and fasting and between the deeds which are the habit and the nature of the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a human being and none is forced to do them ever and whoever want to then May Allah reward him Aaameeen
I hope that you do understand and if not then I beg your pardon and forgiveness for my dereliction.
