Explanatory Note

The second view says that both the majority and the minority belong to the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), with the ones of earlier times' belonging to its first generations, and the others to later ones.

This second view is the one preferred by Ibn Kathir, who cites in support quotations from al-Hasan and Ibn Sirin. Al-Hasan is reported to have said after reading these two verses: "Those to the fore are gone, but we pray to God to include us among the people of the right side." Then he explained the meaning of "A good many of them are from earlier times," saying that these are "from the earlier generations of the Muslim community." Muhammad ibn Sirin is reported to have said after reading these two verses: "Scholars used to say, or to hope, that they all belong to the Muslim community."
