Question:
You said (may Allah preserve you) that the Tabi'un are all those who follow the Companions until the Day of Resurrection.
Answer:
In the general sense, yes, but in the specific sense, no. The term "Tabi'un" specifically refers to the generation that immediately followed the Companions, those who studied under the Companions. This is the well-known and established meaning. When the term "Tabi'un" is used in a general sense, it refers to the generation after the Companions. However, in a broader sense, everyone who follows the methodology of the Salaf is among the Tabi'un, and those who followed them with excellence. Yes.
