With this chain of narrators, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from Abu Yahya al-Wasiti, from Abdullah bin Yahya bin Abdillah al-Alawi, that he ascribed it, saying: It was said to Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family: What is the community of your nation? He said: Those who are on the truth, even if they were ten.
