Islam as a religion began to expand to places not yet conquered by the Umayyad Caliphs and their armies, resulting in an expansion of the Islamic World that was greater than the size of the actual Empire. The Empire, though, remained the primary method of Islamic Expansion in this period and this was facilitated by armies and conquest.

What Muslim group accepts only the descendants of the Umayyads as rightful rulers of Muslims?

There is no such group. The Umayyads were supported by the Sunnis because they had temporal power, but the Sunnis never had a requirement that the ruler need be a descendant of the Umayyads; their precondition for having the right to rule was having the power to effectively govern.Perhaps this question confuses the Shiite requirement that a rightful ruler be a descendant of Ali ibn AbuTalib. Ali and the Umayyads were enemies and are in-no-way related.
