6 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْصُورِينَ، لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ»

Commentary
a. Allāh the Glorified has honored the community of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, by decreeing that it will not go astray en masse as was the case with the earlier communities: they went astray so completely that no one, except whom Allāh pleased, remained on the right track. b. Islam, the religion of truth, is immune from distortion, since the holy book of Islam — the Qur'ān — is fully preserved, and so are the traditions of the Prophet ﷺ, thanks to the efforts of those who faithfully transmitted them, and to those who faithfully implemented them. c. A great number of scholars hold the view that the people referred to in the Hadith are Ahl Hadith, for it is they who do not consider anyone deserving unquestioned compliance after the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. d. The Hadith does not imply that those treading the path of truth shall be spared all trials and tribulations in life. It rather means that those trials and tribulations shall not force them to deviate from the path of truth. e. The phrase "until the Hour begins" means 'until the time Islam remains in the hearts of the people' since the last generation of men that shall witness the Hour will be such that no one among them will say 'Allâh, Allâh' since the Prophet ﷺ has foretold that.
