Is the saved sect understood to be a specific group, or does it have specific slogans, or is it a specific group in different times?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does the saved sect mentioned in the hadith mean a specific group and a faction with specific slogans, or is it a group of men in different times?
The Shaykh : No, no, no.
The questioner : I hope for clarification, my master. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : What needs clarification?! You are asking if it means? The answer is no. The negation. Can you explain something if you negate it? What needs explanation is the positive matter...
The questioner : Excuse me, it comes to mind that it is a specific sect.
The Shaykh : I am not asking you to apologize for your question, but please note with me that negatives do not need explanation, may Allah bless you, but positives are what need explanation. So now, please allow me a counter-question to your question: one, two, three, and if they equal two questions, meaning.
The questioner : Please go ahead.
The Shaykh : What is your opinion of what you heard, that a Muslim cannot be from the saved sect unless he first knows the authentic hadith from the weak one, and consequently takes this knowledge as a means to know what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was upon, and then what the Companions were upon? What is your opinion of this?
The questioner : Good words, I cannot say more.
The Shaykh : Allow me, if it is good words, then let us say, may Allah make us all good, and at that time, let the present convey to the absent, because this speech must be conveyed to the people and made understood by them, because the matter is as Allah the Exalted said as a principle:[Al-A'raf 7:187]
The Shaykh : No, no, no.
The questioner : I hope for clarification, my master. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : What needs clarification?! You are asking if it means? The answer is no. The negation. Can you explain something if you negate it? What needs explanation is the positive matter...

but most of the people do not know."
