The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said in a narration when asked about the one sect that is saved among the many that are destroyed, he said, "it is the jamāʿah". In another narration when he was asked who are they he said, "that which I and my companions are upon today".
Meaning those who understood and implemented the Qur'ān and Sunnah the way that I and my companions understood and implemented it.
So the Ṣaḥābah understood that the term jamāʿah referred to a united body of individuals that were upon the truth.
Allāh has commanded you to stick to the way of the Ṣaḥābah, be from the people of sunnah, to be ahlus sunnah wal jamāʿah - the people of the sunnah and the people of the jamāʿah. Be the people of ḥadīth, be the people who stick to the way of the Salaf (the Companions and those who followed them in goodness) and then you will be from those individuals who will not fall into the ḥadīth of separation (i.e. fall into the hellfire). Stick to the people of truth, which means sticking to the Sunnah and sticking to the Ṣaḥābah and leaving everything else to one side.
