Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother asks about the difference between the victorious group and the saved sect, and what are the characteristics of each?
Answer:
The successful group is the victorious sect, and its characteristics are following the Salaf, and proceeding according to the methodology of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), those who are pleased with them, and their followers with excellence. They are the ones mentioned in His saying—(Exalted and Majestic is He): [Surah al-Tawbah: 100] the verse.
So the saved sect is the one that followed the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and proceeded according to his way and the way of his Companions until death. They are the victorious group, they are the righteous Salaf, and they are the people of the Sunnah and the community. All these are expressions for one sect: the saved sect. It is also called the victorious group, and it is also called the righteous Salaf. They are the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and their followers. It is also called the people of the Sunnah and the community, who are the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and their followers. However, their head is the scholars; their head is the imams of hadith and the imams of knowledge. They are their head, and they are their imams. For this reason, some of the Salaf, when asked about the victorious group, said: They are the people of hadith. He said: If they are not the people of hadith, then I do not know who they are!
His intention is that the people of hadith are at the top, meaning: they are the imams in this group, they are the peak, and they are the foundation. The common people and the unlettered follow them. The common people and the unlettered follow them; whoever proceeds according to their way is one of them, even if he is a common person, as long as he proceeds according to the methodology of the Salaf and is upright upon the religion of Allah, he is of the victorious group. Even if he is a common person and not a scholar, he is a follower of them and included in their number, and he has what they were promised. Yes.

And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him
وَالسَّابِقُونَ الأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ...So the saved sect is the one that followed the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and proceeded according to his way and the way of his Companions until death.
