بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The word is picked up from the above Hadith though it doesn't mean the first three generations.
السؤال: فضيلة الشيخ جزاكم الله خيراً: نريد أن نعرف ما هي السلفية كمنهج، وهل لنا أن ننتسب إليها؟ وهل لنا أن ننكر على من لا ينتسب إليها، أو ينكر على كلمة سلفي أو غير ذلك؟
________________________________________
الجواب: السلفية: هي اتباع منهج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه؛ لأنهم هم الذين سلفونا وتقدموا علينا، فاتباعهم هو السلفية. وأما اتخاذ السلفية كمنهج خاص ينفرد به الإنسان ويضلل من خالفه من المسلمين ولو كانوا على حق، واتخاذ السلفية كمنهجٍ حزبي فلا شك أن هذا خلاف السلفية ، فالسلف كلهم يدعون إلى الاتفاق والالتئام حول سنة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا يضللون من خالفهم عن تأويل، اللهم إلا في العقائد، فإنهم يرون أن من خالفهم فيها فهو ضال، أما في المسائل العملية فإنهم يخففون فيها كثيراً. لكن بعض من انتهج السلفية في عصرنا هذا صار يضلل كل من خالفه ولو كان الحق معه، واتخذها بعضهم منهجاً حزبياً كمنهج الأحزاب الأخرى التي تنتسب إلى دين الإسلام، وهذا هو الذي يُنكر ولا يمكن إقراره، ويقال: انظروا إلى مذهب السلف الصالح ماذا كانوا يفعلون! انظروا طريقتهم وفي سعة صدورهم في الخلاف الذي يُسوغ فيه الاجتهاد، حتى إنهم كانوا يختلفون في مسائل كبيرة، وفي مسائل عقدية، وعملية، فتجد بعضهم مثلاً يُنكر أن الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى ربه، وبعضهم يقول: بلى، وترى بعضهم يقول: إن التي توزن يوم القيامة هي الأعمال، وبعضهم يرى أن صحائف الأعمال هي التي توزن، وتراهم أيضاً في مسائل الفقه يختلفون كثيراً، في النكاح، والفرائض، والبيوع، وغيرها، ومع ذلك لا يضلل بعضهم بعضاً. فالسلفية بمعنى أن تكون حزباً خاصاً له مميزاته ويضلل أفراده من سواهم فهؤلاء ليسوا من السلفية في شيء. وأما السلفية اتباع منهج السلف عقيدة وقولاً وعملاً وائتلافاً واختلافاً واتفاقاً وتراحماً وتواداً، كما قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (مثل المؤمنين في توادهم وتراحمهم وتعاطفهم كمثل الجسد الواحد إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالحمى والسهر) فهذه هي السلفية الحقة.

Praise be to Allaah.
The Salafis are the followers of the way of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and his Companions, because they are the ones who came before us (the Salaf) and who advanced ahead of us, so their followers are the Salafis.
With regard to taking Salafiyyah as a path or methodology which a person follows and regards as misguided those Muslims who differ with him, even if they are following the truth, and taking Salafiyyah as a partisan path is undoubtedly contrary to Salafiyyah. All of the Salaf or early generations called for unity and harmony around the Sunnah of the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and did not regard as misguided those who differed with them with on the basis of their understanding and interpretation, except when it came to matters of ‘aqeedah or beliefs, because they regarded those who differed with them in these matters as misguided. But with regard to practical issues they were often easy-going.
But some of those who followed the path of Salafiyyah in modern times started to regard as misguided everyone who differed from them, even if that person was correct, and some of them adopted a partisan approach like that of other parties which claimed to belong to the religion of Islam. This is something that is to be denounced and cannot be approved of, and it should be said to these people: Look at the way of the righteous early generation (al-salaf al-saalih), what did they used to do? Look at their way and how open hearted they were in the case of differences in which ijtihaad is justified (and differences of opinion are allowed). They even used to differ concerning major issues, matters of belief and practical issues. You will find some of them, for example, denying that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) saw his Lord, whereas others say that he did see Him. You will see some of them saying that what will be weighed on the Day of Resurrection is deeds, whereas others will say that it is the books of deeds that will be weighed. You will also see them differing a great deal with regard to matters of fiqh having to do with marriage, shares of inheritance, buying and selling, and other issues. Yet despite all that they did not regard one another as misguided.
Salafiyyah in the sense of being a particular party with its distinguishing characteristics and in which the members regard everyone else as misguided, these people have nothing to do with Salafiyyah at all. As for the Salafiyyah which means following the path of the Salaf in belief, word and deed, in calling for unity and harmony and mutual compassion and love, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of a single body; when one part of it is suffering the rest of the body joins it in fever and staying awake” -- this is the true Salafiyyah.

Personal Note:
Prophet(saw) and his companions were NOT ONLY Best in their Aqeedah but also very best in their Aqlaaq(Moral Characters) and Best in their Ibaadah.
They were most loving towards each other as ALLAH Azwajal says in these verses:
Surat Al-Fatĥ Chapter 48 Verse 29
مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللَّهِ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ
Muhammadun rasoolu Allahi waallatheena maAAahu ashiddao AAala alkuffari ruhamao baynahum
Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.
But are we Merciful among ourselves, following the way of companions (RadhiALLAHU anhum)???
Imam Ahmad recorded from Thawban that the Prophet said:
«لَا تُؤْذُوا عِبَادَ اللهِ وَلَا تُعَيِّرُوهُمْ، وَلَا تَطْلُبُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ طَلَبَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ طَلَبَ اللهُ عَوْرَتَهُ، حَتَّى يَفْضَحَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ»
Do not annoy the servants of Allah, nor abuse them, nor seek their hidden shortcomings. Whoever seeks out the faults of his Muslim brother, Allah will expose his faults and degrade him, even if he is hiding in his house.

فَاتَّقِي اللَّهَ وَاصْبِرِي، فَإِنِّي نِعْمَ السَّلَفُ أَنَا لَكَ "
So, be afraid of Allah, and be patient, for I am the best predecessor for you (in the Hereafter).
