HADITH 1:
The Beloved Messenger of Allah, peace
and blessings of Allah be eternally upon him, said, “The Jews split into 71
groups; 1 group will enter Paradise and 70 will enter Hell. The Christians
split into 72 groups; 1 group will enter Paradise and 71 will enter Hell. By
Him in Whose Power is the life of Muhammad, without doubt, my Ummah will
be divided into 73 groups. Only one will enter Paradise and 72 will enter
Hell.”
When asked about which group will be
on the right path, the Beloved Messenger of Allah replied, “The main body (Jamaat)
of the Muslims.”
[Ibn Majah’s Kitab al-Fitan;
Hafiz ibn Kathir’s Signs before Day of Judgment, page 14]
HADITH 2:
The Beloved Messenger of
Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be eternally upon him, said, “There
was disagreement amongst Jews and they split into 72 groups. In exactly the
same way, there will be disagreement and divisions in my Ummah. It will
split into 73 groups. Except for one of these groups, all the remaining will be
thrown into Hell.”
When asked about which group will be
on the right path, the Beloved Messenger of Allah replied, “The group on the
right path, which will enter Paradise, will be the group which follows my
Sunnah and this will be the largest group of Muslims.”
[Tirmidhi; Imam Ahmad; Abu
Dawud; Mishkat]
HADITH 3:
The Beloved Messenger of

[Ibn Majah]
HADITH 4:
The Beloved Messenger of Allah, peace
and blessings of Allah be eternally upon him, said, “"Follow the way
of the largest group of Muslims! For he who deviates from this group will be
thrown into Hell!”
[Ibne Majah]
HADITH 5:
The Beloved Messenger of Allah, peace
and blessings of Allah be eternally upon him, said, “The devil continually
pursues human as a wolf pursues sheep. The wolf only dares to attack those
sheep which have separated from the rest of the flock and are standing alone.
And so, my followers and my devotees! Save yourselves from being caught in the
traps of misguidance and firmly remain with the largest and most well-known
group of Muslims!”
[Imam Ahmad]
HADITH 6:
The Beloved Messenger of Allah, peace
and blessings of Allah be eternally upon him, said, “Allah will never allow

blessings and protection are with the largest group of Muslims. And he who
deviates from the largest group of Muslims will be thrown into Hell.”
[Tirmidhi]
HADITH 7:
The Beloved Messenger of Allah, peace
and blessings of Allah be eternally upon him, said, “He who deviates
himself from the largest group of Muslims, even as much as a hand span, has
himself cut off his connection with Islam.”
[Abu Dawud; Imam Ahmed]
HADITH 8
The Beloved Messenger of Allah, peace
and blessings of Allah be eternally upon him, said, “The Jews divided into
71 sects, 1 will enter Paradise and 70 will enter Hell. The Christians were
divided into 72 sects. By the One whose Hand my soul is in, my Ummah
will be divided into 73 sects, 72 of which will enter Hell.”
The Companions asked, “Which is the
saved sect?” The Holy Prophet replied, “al-Jamaah.”
[Ibn Majah’s Kitaab Al Fitan, Hadith no. 3982]
