At-Taa’ifah al-Mansoorah (The Victorious Group) is the Mujaahideen March 31, 2008

Today, we find some who say that the reference in the ahadeeth to at-Taa’ifah al-Mansoorah refers to groups who are not necessarily fighting on the battlefield.

We have seen some da’wah groups use a hadeeth regarding at-Taa’ifah al-Mansoorah and attribute it to their work. This is utter hypocrisy since there is more than one hadeeth regarding this group.

This hadeeth from Salamah bin Nufail is one which they shy away from:

روى الإمام النسائي وغيره بسند صحيح عن سلمة بن نفيل الكندي (من قبيلة كندة) رضي الله عنه قال: كنت جالساً، فقال رجل: يا رسول الله؛ أذال الناس الخيل، ووضعوا السلاح، وقالوا: لا جهاد، قد وضعت الحرب أوزارها، فأقبل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بوجهه وقال: (كذبوا، الآن جاء دور القتال، ولا يزال من أمتي أمَّةٌ يقاتلون على الحق، ويزيغ الله لهم قلوب أقوام، ويرزقهم منهم حتى تقوم الساعة، وحتى يأتي وعد الله، والخيل معقود في نواصيها الخير إلى يوم القيامة، وإنه يوحى إليّ أني مقبوض غير ملَبَّث، وأنتم تتبعونني أفناداً، يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض، وعقر دار المؤمنين بالشام).

“O Allah’s Messenger, horses are being humiliated, and weapons are being laid down. And the people are claiming there is no more Jihad and war has ended.”

The Messenger of Allah replied: “They are lying! Fighting has just started. And there will always continue to be a group from my nation fighting for the Truth, dominant over the people. Allah will deviate some peoples’ hearts to fight them. So Allah will provide sustenance to them from their enemies until Allah’s Promise comes while they are in this state. Indeed the Believers’ stronghold is the land of Shaam; and good is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Resurrection Day.” [Reported by an-Nasaa'i]

How then can at-Taa’ifah al-Mansoorah be referred to a group other than the Mujaahideen?
