Question:
This questioner is from Sudan, Khartoum: (F. Sh. M.) He says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I hope you will explain this hadith?
Answer:
As mentioned before: the Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. The saved group is one: the one that followed the methodology of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the methodology of his Companions. As for the seventy-two, among them are disbelievers, among them are sinners, and among them are innovators, all in danger.
But the saved, sound group is the one that followed the path of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the path of his Companions, as stated in the hadith: And in the other wording: Meaning: they are those who agreed upon the path of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his biography (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
