A Muslim is upon righteousness as long as he follows the Atsar

Imam Muhammad Ibn Seereen (died 110H rahimahullaah) said:
"To them (the Companions of Prophet Muhammad and their followers), one is upon the straight path, the truth, as long as he follows the Atsar (literally means footprints and it refers to the ways taught by Prophet Muhammad and his Companions)"
[Sahih Jāmi‘ Bayān al-‘Ilm wa Fadlihi by al-Hāfiz Ibn 'Abdil Barr pg.416 (1444)]


Imam Is-hāq bin Rāhawaih (161-238H rahimahullaah) said:
"Every single teaching which we received via 3 people (narrators) is considered an Atsar because the Messenger of Allaah said: You shall hear from me, and another group (generation) of people shall hear from you and others shall hear from those who shall hear from you." 
[Tahdzieb Syaraf As-hāb al-Hadīts pg. 62-64 by al-Hāfiz al-Khatieb al-Baghdadi d: 463H and the hadeets is Sahih, NB Abu Dawud (Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud: 3107), Lisān alMiezān –Ibn Hajar: (1/3), as-Sahiehah: (1784) and others from Ibn ‘Abbās and other Companions].
