وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ حَدَّثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْأُمَمِ ، قَالَ : تَفَرَّقَتْ أُمَّةُ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً ، سَبْعُونَ مِنْهَا فِي النَّارِ ، وَوَاحِدَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَتَفَرَّقَتْ أُمَّةُ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً ، إِحْدَى وَسَبْعُونَ مِنْهَا فِي النَّارِ ، وَوَاحِدَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَتَعْلُو أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْفِرْقَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا بِمِلَّةٍ : اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِي النَّارِ ، وَوَاحِدَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، قَالُوا : مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْجَمَاعَةُ .
قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ : وَكَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا حَدَّثَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَلَا مَعَهُ قُرْآنًا : وَمِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَى أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أُمَّةَ عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، فَقَالَ : وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَكَفَّرْنَا عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أُمَّتَنَا فَقَالَ : وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), telling the Companions about the conditions of the past nations, said: "The nation of Musa (peace be upon him) split into seventy-one (71) groups, of which seventy are in Hell and only one is in Paradise; and the nation of Isa (peace be upon him) split into seventy-two (72) sects, of which seventy-one are in the Fire and one is in Paradise; while my Ummah will exceed the combined number of the groups of both these nations by one (that is, there will be seventy-three sects), of which seventy-two (72) will be in the Fire and only one will go to Paradise." The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Which one is that (saved group)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Jama'ah (that is, the community that remains upon the truth)."
Ya'qub bin Zayd said: When Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he would recite these verses of the Qur'an in support of it. About the people of Musa: 'And among the people of Musa is a community that guides by the truth and by it establishes justice' [Surah al-A'raf: 159]. Then about the People of the Book (the nation of Isa) he would recite: 'And if only the People of the Book had believed and feared Allah, We would have removed from them their misdeeds' [Surah al-Ma'idah: 65]. And then about our Ummah he would recite this verse: 'And among those We created is a community that guides by the truth and by it establishes justice' [Surah al-A'raf: 181].
