The Shaykh’s explanation that the aforementioned texts also indicate two important matters, the first being their comprehensiveness for everyone to whom they reach until the Day of Resurrection.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : O my dear brothers, these aforementioned texts from the Book and the Sunnah, just as they indicate with decisive clarity the obligation to follow the Sunnah absolutely in everything the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought, and that whoever does not refer to them for judgment and submit to them is not a believer, I wish to draw your attention to the fact that they indicate, through their generality and absoluteness, two other important matters as well.
The first is that they encompass everyone to whom the call reaches until the Day of Resurrection. This is explicit in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches لأنذركم به ومن بلغ
[Al-An'am 6:19]
and His saying:
And We have not sent you except comprehensively to mankind as a bringer of good tidings and a warner وما أرسلناك إلا كافة للناس بشيرا ونذيرا
[Saba 34:28]
. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) explained this by his saying in the hadith:
Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have been sent to all mankind. وكان النبي يُبعث إلى قومه خاصة وبُعثت إلى الناس كافة
Sahih al-Bukhari 438
, agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and his saying:
By Myself in Whose Hand is your soul, no one from this Ummah, no Jew, and no Christian will hear of me and then not believe in me except that he will be among the people of the Fire والذي نفسي بيده لا يسمع بي رجل من هذه الأمة ولا يهودي ولا نصراني ثم لا يُؤمن بي إلا كان من أهل النار
, narrated by Imam Muslim in his Sahih, and by Ibn Mando and others, as I have extracted it in al-Ahadith al-Sahihah, number 157.
