“And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not other paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become pious.” (Al-An`ām: 153)

...

Ibrāheem Ibn ‘Abdir-Rahmān al-‘Adhari (rahimahullāh) said that Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

يَحْمِلُ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَلَفٍ عُدُولُهُ ، يَنْفُونَ عَنْهُ تَحْرِيفَ الْغَالِينَ ، وَانْتِحَالِ الْمُبْطِلِينَ ، وَتَأْوِيلِ الْجَاهِلِينَ

This knowledge will be carried by the trustworthy ones of every generation. They will expel from it the distortions of the extremists, the fabrications of the liars and the interpretations of the ignorant.” 

(Hasan; Reported by Ibn Qutaibah in `Ayoonul-Akhbār, 2/118; al-Bayhaqee in Sunan al-Kubrā, 10/209; al-Ājurree in Ash-Sharee`ah, 1-2; See Mishkāt al-Masābeeh, 248.)

Sideeq Hasan Khan (rahimahullah) stated in Ad-Deen al-Khālis (3/261-263) in explanation of this narration (abridged): Meaning: the knowledge of the Book and Sunnah ― this knowledge will be carried by every group of people that comes after the Salaf, the trustworthy ones from amongst them and narrators of it. They will expel from it the distortions of those who go beyond the limits, meaning: those who change the affairs of religion by going beyond its limits. Tahreef means to replace the truth with falsehood by changing the words or changing the meanings. The fabrications of the liars, meaning: they ward off the lies of the people of falsehood. Intihāl is to claim something for oneself falsely such as poetry or speech or other than that ― so it is a substitute term for kadhib (lying). The interpretations of the ignorant, meaning: they protect [the religion] from their interpretations wherein they interpret the verses and narrations without knowledge and without understanding ― and they alter them from their apparent meanings.
