Sheikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan, may Allaah preserve him, said:
"If you want salvation, and you want happiness, and you want safety from misguidance, then upon you is the methodology of the Salaf (righteous predecessors); who are the Companions, and those who follow them (Taabi'een), and their followers (Atba' At-Taabi'een), and those that emulate them from the scholars of guidance, such as the four Imaams; Abu Hanifah, Maalik, Ash-Shaafi’ee and Ahmed, and other than them from the scholars, such as Sufyaan Ath-Thawree, Sufyaan ibn Uyainah, Hammaad ibn Zayd, Hammaad ibn Salamah, Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh, and other than them from the scholars of the Salaf.
Those are the role models because they traverse upon the truth and upon what the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions were upon..."
