Question:
As Salam Alaikum
In the Name of Allah the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
Bismillah wal Hamdulilah was Salatu was Salam ‘ala Sayyidina Rasul
Allah.
al-Saffarini says: ‘Some scholars said: (the saved sect) meaning, Ahl al-Hadeeth, i.e. the Atharis, the Ash’aris and the Maturidis.’ I say: The wording of the Hadeeth, i.e. his statement: ‘except one sect’, contradicts the idea of multiplicity, and thus I said:
This text (about the saved sect) cannot be applied to any sect save the Ahl al-Athar’ (1/76)
has Imam Safarini contradicted himself here?
Your help would be greatly appreciated and it is urgently needed,
Jazkallah Khair.
Answer:
`Alaykum salam
The statement you quoted is not by al Saffarini but by some later person.
wassalam.
