Defining the Saved Sect in the Hadith of the Schism

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the community will split into
This community is upon seventy-three sectsهذه الأمة على ثلاث وسبعين فرقة
Sahih Ibn Hibban 62:615
all in the Fire except one. A dispute occurred between me and a person, O Honorable Shaykh, regarding this sect. I said they are the people of the Sunnah, and he said the hadith does not indicate a specific definition, and why can it not be the Rafidah? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) defined it when he was asked, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said:
Whoever is upon whatمن كان على مثل
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 5:343
What I am upon today and my Companionsما أنا عليه اليوم وأصحابي
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 2:145
And there is no definition after the definition of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The one who argues incorrectly follows desire and cannot be refuted. As for the one who seeks the truth, he is in the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Was it like
What I am upon today and my Companionsما أنا عليه اليوم وأصحابي
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 2:145
Yes, and it is the people of the Sunnah and the community itself.
