Who falls within the boundaries of Ahlusunah?

Imaam Al-Safarini al-Hanbali says:

أهل السنة والجماعة ثلاث فرق : الأثرية وإمامهم أحمد بن حنبل - رضي الله عنه ، والأشعرية وإمامهم أبو الحسن الأشعري - رحمه الله ، والماتريدية وإمامهم أبو منصور الماتريدي ، وأما فرق الضلال فكثيرة جدا


ENGLISH:


"Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah is composed of three groups:





  • Al-Athariyah, and their Imam is Ahmad bin Hanbal, may Allah be pleased with him.

  • Al-Ash'ariyah, and their Imam is Abul-Hassan Al-Ash'arie, may Allah be merciful to him.

  • Al-Maturidiyah, and their Imam is Abu Mansur Al-Maturidy.



But the misguided groups are many."


NEDERLANDS:


"Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah zijn drie groepen:





  • Al-Athariyah, en hun Imaam is Ahmad bin Hanbal, moge Allah tevreden over hem zijn.

  • Al-Ash'ariyah, en hun Imaam is Abul-Hassan Al-Ash'arie, moge Allah hem genadig zijn.

  • Al-Maturidiyah, en hun Imam is Abu Mansur Al-Maturidi.



Wat betreft de dwalende groeperingen, die zijn er velen."


["Lawami’ Al-Anwar Al-Bahiyyah", 73].

Another hadith on Hur Al-'Ayin

Abu Umama reported that the Prophet said:

ما من أحد يدخله الله الجنة إلا زوجه الله عز وجل ثنتين وسبعين زوجة ثنتين من الحور العين وسبعين من ميراثه من أهل النار ما منهن واحدة إلا ولها قبل شهي وله ذكر لا ينثني


ENGLISH:


"Allah will not admit anyone in the Paradise except that Allah, the Mighty and Glorious will marry him to seventy two wives. Two will be from the houris with big eyes and seventy will be his inheritance from the people of the Hell-Fire (i.e. the believing wives of the disbelievers). Each with a delicious vagina and he will have a member that does not bend (eternal erection)."


NEDERLANDS:


"Allah zal niemand het Paradijs toelaten, zonder dat Hij, de Verhevene, hem zal uithuwelijken aan 72 vrouwen. Twee daarvan zullen van de Hur al-'Ayin zijn en zeventig zal hij erven van de mensen van de Helbewoners (i.e. de gelovige vrouwen van de ongelovigen). Elke van hen heeft een heerlijke vagina en hij zal een onbuigzame geslachtsdeel hebben (eeuwige erectie)."



["Sunan Ibn Majah", 5/4337 - also found in the Musnad of Imam Al-Darimi, and in Imam Al-Qurtubi's Tafsir, Al-Suyuti declared it Hassan in "Al-Jami Al-Saghir", 7989; and Al-Albani declared it Dha'if Jiddan in "Dha'if Al-Jami", 5143].
