Hadith 10

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيِّ ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ مَنْصُورِينَ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
´It was narrated from Thawban that:` The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "A group among my Ummah will continue to follow the truth and prevail, and those who oppose them will not be able to harm them, until the command of Allah comes to pass."

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Zahireen ‘ala al-haqq:
They will remain steadfast upon the truth,
or, on the basis of the truth, they will prevail over others,
sometimes through strength and power, and sometimes through evidence and proofs.

(2)
Khadhala-hum:
He will not help or support them,
He will oppose them.

(3)
Hatta ya’tiya amrullah:
Until, by Allah’s command, a wind will blow which will seize the soul of every believer, and only the worst people will remain alive, and this will occur near the time of the Day of Judgment,
therefore, in some narrations, it is stated: hatta taqum as-sa’ah,
meaning, until the Day of Judgment is established.

Benefits and Issues:
By the group “zahireen ‘ala al-haqq” is meant
the group of scholars, hadith scholars (muhaddithin), and those who strive in Allah’s cause (mujahideen),
the Ahl al-Hadith continue to defend the religion intellectually, and the mujahideen defend it practically through strength, power, and jihad,
therefore, those scholars and mujahideen who stand firm for Allah’s religion,
they continue to perform intellectual and practical jihad, and will continue to do so,
they alone are its true referents.
According to Imam Ahmad,
Yazid ibn Harun, and Imam Bukhari, by this is meant
the Ahl al-Hadith and the companions of hadith.
