There are many proofs from Allah an his messenger to
follow the understanding of the companions and the
next 2 generations so this is the understanding this
book brings forward. We can only follow this way 4
right guidance so take heed of Muhammad(saw) saying:

"Indeed bani Israel will split into 71 sects and my
ummah will split into 72 sects, ALL WILL BE IN THE
FIRE EXCEPT FOR 1" It was said to him."what is the 1.
He(saw) said, " That 2 which I and my companions are
upon.

This is a serious statement from the messenger(saw)
and is NOT to be taken lightly. The ummah today is
split up but who are these people who are following
the salaf's understanding of Islam. They are the
strangers as the prophet(saw)said:

"Islam began as a stranger and shall return as a
stranger as it began,so give glad tidings to the
strangers"

"So give glad tidings to the few, those who put right
what the people have corrupted."

The people who are following the salafis salih are few
in # and are strangers in the community of the muslims
since they are reviving that which the people did not
know about from the sunnah upon authentic ahadeeth.
They r not those who quote ahadeeth at ur left, right
and centre without knowing where they r from and
whether it is saheeh(authentic) or not. Rather they
are the ones who establish the deen of allah(swt)
paying close attention to the chain of narration in
the hadeeth. They are careful not to make a lie
against the messenger(saw). As Ali(ra) said in his
advice to Kumail ibn Ziyaad an Nakha'ee(a tabi'ee,
reliable)
"oh Allah yes, the earth will not be without one who
stands upright for Allah with proof-so that Allah's
proof and clear signs are not abolished. They are the
ones who are few in # but having most value to Allah,
with them Allah asserts his proofs amongst their
contemporaries and cultivates them in the hearts of
ones similar to them...Oh how I would like to see
them-and I seek Allah's forgiveness 4 me and 4 u-if u
wish then stand.

They are the ones who do not stick blindly to the
sayings of one Imaam but rather ase from where they
took that aunthentic Sunnah.
