A Group Will Always Remain Upon the Truth:
Rather, in every nation there has always been a group that remains steadfast upon the truth, no matter how small their number may be, to the point that this is so that at all times the proof from Allah remains established upon the people. Accordingly, regarding the Ummah of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "My Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, but among them there will be one group that will always remain steadfast upon the truth until the Day of Resurrection." [بخاري۔ كتاب الاعتصام۔ باب لاتزال طائفة من امتي]
And it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri ؓ that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "You will surely follow the ways of those before you; if they advanced a hto the point thatspan, you would advance a cubit, to the point that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you would surely enter it too." We asked: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Do you mean the Jews to the point that Christians?" He said: "Who else?" [مسلم، كتاب العلم، باب النهي عن اتباع متشابه القرآن]
