Sayyidina Rasulallah said: "The Jews split into 71 groups; 1 group will enter When asked about which group will be on the right path, Sayyidina Rasulallah replied: "The main body (Jamaat) of the Muslims." Please can someone elaborate on this hadeeth.Also, please tell me which is the right way to follow: Tableegh or Sunni?
Thanks!!!

Since this is as vague as one wants it to be, it means whatever you want it to mean. Sayyidina Rasulallah says "The main body of the Muslims" because he has a predilection for muslims. Obviously someone with a predilection for another group would say something else. Typical vagaries for typical religious pronouncements of intents. If you want enlightenment try reading something besides religious texts.

What the Scholars said about the Jama`at Shaykh al-Islam Ahmad ibn Hajar al-Haytami (d. 974/1567; R. A.) Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Haytami defined the Sunni Muslims as follows in his book Fath al-jawad: "A Mubtadi (innovator) is the person who does not have the faith (Aqeedah) conveyed unanimously by the Ahl as-Sunnah. This unanimity was transmitted by the two great Imam's Abu'l Hasan al-Ashari (d.324/936; Rahimahullah) and Abu Mansur al- Maturidi (d.333/944; Rahimahullah) and the scholars who followed their path." Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Haytami also said in his book al- Fatawa al-Hadithiyya (pg. 205): "'Man of bid'ah' means one whose beliefs are different from the Ahl as-Sunnah faith. The Ahl as- Sunnah faith, is the faith of Abu'l Hasan al-Ashari, Abu Mansur al- Maturidi and those who followed them. One who brings forth something which is not approved by Islam becomes a man of bid'ah." Imam Qurtubi Of this verse Qurtubi says: hadith regarding the Saved Sect (firqatun naajiyya) and the importance of holding to the majority group (Jama`ah): Imam Abu Dawood Imam Abu Dawood (Rahimahullah) concerning the division of the Muslim Ummah into seventy- three sects in his Sunan (3/4580, English edn) said: Hafiz Ibn Kathir Hafiz Ibn Kathir (Rahimahullah) in The Signs Before The Day of Judgement (pg. 14): "Awf ibn Malik reported that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, 'The Jews split into 71 sects: one will enter Paradise and 70 will enter Hell. The Christians split into 72 sects: 71 will enter Hell and one will enter Paradise. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, my Ummah will split into 73 sects: one will enter Paradise and 72 will enter Hell.' Someone asked, 'O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), who will they be?' He replied, 'The main body of the Muslims (al-Jama'ah).' Ibn Taymiyya In his Aqeedat-il-Wasitiyyah (pg. 154) says: "Their creed is the religion of Islam which was sent to the world by Allah through the Prophet (Peace be upon him). But the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, 'My Ummah will get divided into 73 sects and each one will go to Hell save one and that one is the Jama'at.' Also in one Hadith he said, 'They are those people who will follow this path which I and my Sahaba follow today.' Therefore they have caught hold of Islam unalloyed from every adulteration and these are the people of Ahl as-Sunnah Wa'l Jama'ah. This group includes the truthful, the martyrs and the virtuous; it includes the minarets of guidance, lamps in the darkness and owners of such superiorities and virtues who have been already mentioned. It includes the saints and also those Imams on whose guidance Muslims are unanimous. It is this successful group about which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) has said: 'One group from my Ummah will always remain dominant with truth; the opponents will never be able to harm its members or afflict them up to the Doomsday.'" Imam Muslim Imam Muslim (Rahimahullah) has collected a number of variant Hadith on the saved sect. He has related a longer version of the last Hadith quoted above: "Abdal Rahman ibn Shamasa al-Mahri said: 'I was in the company of Maslama bin Mukhallad and Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with them).' Abdullah said, 'The Hour shall come only when the worst type of people are left on the earth. They will be worse than the people of pre-Islamic days. They will get whatever they ask of Allah.' While we were sitting Uqba ibn Amir came, and Maslama said to him, 'Uqba, listen to what Abdullah says.' Uqba said, 'He knows, so far as I am concerned, I heard the Prophet (Peace be upon him) say: A group of people from my Ummah will continue to fight in obedience to the Command of Allah, remaining dominant over their enemies. Those who will oppose them shall not do them any harm. They will remain in this condition until the Hour over takes them.' (At this) Abdullah said, 'Yes. Then Allah will raise a wind which will be fragrant like musk and whose touch will be like the touch of silk; (but) it will cause the death of all (faithful) persons, not leaving behind a single person with an iota of faith in his heart. Then only the worst of men will remain to be overwhelmed by the Hour.'" (Sahih Muslim, 3/4721, English ed'n, see also Sahih al-Bukhari, 9/414, English ed'n) Imam Nawawi Imam Nawawi in his Sharh Muslim : Imam al-Tirmidhi Imam al-Tirmidhi (Rahimahullah) said: Imam Bukhari Imam Bukhari (Rahimahullah) stated in his Sahih: Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Rahimahullah) said about this group: There are over fifteen hadiths mentioning this subject, in short, we can say there are differences in Furu` (branches), but not in the Usul (fundamental principles), i.e. Quran and Sunnah. For the Madhhabs may differ in some areas, but the efforts in `Ijtihad by their founding Imams remain unequaled by anyone after the time of the Salaf, and thus cannot be tossed out or replaced. And it is obligatory for the common folk to follow one of these Imams, except the one that is a qualified Mujtahid. |

For the love of Allah. The hadeeth in question is a post facto invention by Sunnis trying to win an argument by appeal to anything but informed opinion. Childishly transparent.
