The meaning of his statement (peace and blessings be upon him): “When people differ, hold to the largest group” and its authenticity]
Your Eminence! What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “When people differ, hold to the largest group” Is this report authentic?
This appears to be authentic as a report stopping at a Companion, but not as a report traced to the Prophet,And its meaning is: that when people differ on a matter, the largest group, meaning the majority, is closer to the truth,And that does not mean: that the majority opinion is always the correct one; rather, it is only closer, and the truth may be with the minority. For this reason, there is something to consider in this hadith, even from the perspective of its meaning.
