In the study of the concept of vasat/ middle in the verse 143 of Baqarah, various interpretive opinions have been expressed, which have interpreted middle as the meaning of justice, choice, moderation of Islamic rules and moderation of the Ummah itself. What is appropriate to the theme of the verse, the middle means "intermediary" that a group of the Ummah are intermediaries between the Messenger and the Ummah and convey God's commands to the people. Various theories have been expressed in determining the example of the Middle Ummah, among them are the companions of the Prophet, the followers, and the Sunni religious sects. In the present article, it was explained with an argumentative method, what is used from the verses of Surah Hajj, the middle nation is the same as the Muslim Ummah mentioned in the prayer of Hazrat Ibrahim in the verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, and in Surah Hajj there have been mentioned two characteristics of infallibility and the state of being descent of the Prophet for the witness of the deeds, by the verses 59 of Nisa and 55 of Ma'ida and the Tathir verse the infallibility of the commander of the Faithful and the Ahl al-Bayt of the Holy Prophet have been proved. It is proven that they are only examples of the Middle Ummah and the Muslim Ummah, and they witness the actions of the Ummah on the Day of Resurrection, and the Holy Prophet is also a witness to their actions
