Assalaamu 'alaykum!
Regarding the hadeeth of the Prophet (saw) wherein he (saw) said, “The Ummah wil divide into more than seventy sects, all of them will go into the hellfire except for one…”
Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said, “If they are not the people of hadeeth, then I do not know who they are!” (1)
Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee said, “If I were to see a man from the people of hadeeth, it would be as if I has seen the Prophet (saw) living.” (2)
Shaykh ‘Abdul-Qaadir Al-Jeelaanee said, “As for the saved sect it is Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah, and there is no name for Ahlu Sunnah except one, and that is the people of hadeeth.” (3)
