Question:
He asks: What are the characteristics of the saved sect that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about, and what is the methodology of the righteous Salaf, since everyone claims to be of it?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the saved sect clearly. They asked him: Which is the sect that will be saved from the Fire among these sects that you (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about when you said, "My Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all in the Fire except one"? The matter is great, meaning one is the one that will be saved from the Fire, and seventy-two are all in the Fire. What is this sect?
He said: It is the group that is upon what I am upon and my Companions. This is the saved group. And what was the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) upon? He was upon the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So whoever wants salvation, he will be with this group that holds fast to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah the Exalted said:[At-Tawbah 9:119] with the righteous. Yes. [At-Tawbah 9:119]
