The Hanaabilah they are not the only salafiyoon

Question: Is it correct that the hanaabilah they are the only salafiyyoon?And what is the reality of salafiyyah?Is it an association of(upon) sternness and compulsion as some (people) circulate?

Answer: This statement is not correct.On the contrary the righteous predecessors( As salafus saalih) are the companions - may Allah be pleased with them - and whoever follows their way from the Taabe'en, and Atbaa'a Attaabe'en from the Hanafiyyah, and Maalikeyya, and Shaafe'eyyah and Hanaabilah and other than them from those who thread upon the truth, and cling to the Almighty Book and the Purified Sunnah, in the matter of Tawheed, Asmaa' was sifaat (names and attributes of Allaah) and in all the matters of the Deen (religion).We ask Allah to make us from them, and to give success to all the Muslims ,to aid goverments and peoples in all place to hold firmly to His Mighty Book and Sunnah of His Messenger, the Faithful and make them both (ie Quran and Sunnah) the judge and to appeal to them for the legal decision, and being cautious from all that contradicts them - Indeed He is The Guardian of that and The One Capable of it, and Allah is the Guardian of Tawfiq.
