Guidance on the statement of Ibn Mas'ud: "The true community is the one upon the truth, even if you are alone"

The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the explanation of the statement of Ibn Mas'ud, "The community is the truth, even if you are alone"?

The Shaykh:
The community is whoever is upon the truth. The true community is whoever is upon the truth, even if it is only one person. So whoever is upon the truth is the community, and whoever is upon falsehood, even if they are thousands of people, they are not the community. Yes, the criterion and the standard is the truth.
Even if only one, two, or three people are upon it, just as it began. The criterion is what the person or the group is upon. If it is truth, they are the community. If it is falsehood, then even if they are in the millions, they are not a community; they are a community of misguidance. I do not know the time.

The presenter:
Ten years.

The Shaykh:
This is the last question. I do not know the time.

The presenter:
No, the time has not ended yet; the program has not ended yet.

The Shaykh:
The time is between me and you, okay? When it ends, that is it.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
