Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will split into 73 sects; all of them will go to Hell except one." The people asked: Which sect will that be? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That which I and my Companions are upon today (that is, those who follow that way will be the people of Paradise)."
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir; its chain contains Abdullah bin Sufyan. Al-Uqayli says: His narration of this hadith is not corroborated. Ibn Hibban mentioned him in Kitab al-Thiqat.
