the Sahabah and exceed the proper limits with AhlulBayt (members of the Prophet's extended Muslim family) placing them in a higher rank than that which Allah has placed them. They also disavow the approach of AlNawasib (A deviant Islamic sect slandering `Aly ibn AbuTalib and the family of the Prophet) who harm Ahlul Bayt with words or action.
The correct `Aqidah with which the Messenger (peace be upon him) was sent down includes all that is mentioned in this brief speech. This is the `Aqidah of the Saved Sect, namely, AhlulSunnah walJama`ah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated:
A group of people from my Ummah will remain victorious (and on the right path), and those who desert or oppose them shall not be able to do them any harm until Allah's Command is executed (i. e. Resurrection is established).
The Jews split into seventy one sects, all of which are in Hellfire except one; the Christians split into seventy two sects, all of which are in Hellfire except one; and this Ummah will split into seventy three sects, all of which are in Hellfire except one. The Companions said: Which sect is that? He said: It is that sect following my example and that of my Companions.
