Chapter: Division of This Nation
Hadith 2554
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَازِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لُحَيٍّ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ: أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فِينَا، فَقَالَ: "أَلا إِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ افْتَرَقُوا عَلَى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ سَتَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ: اثْنَتَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ فِي النَّارِ، وَوَاحِدَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ" . قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ: الْحَرَازُ قَبِيلَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among us in the form of a preacher and said: "Listen! The People of the Book (Jews and Christians) before you were divided into seventy-two sects, and the people of this Ummah will soon be divided into seventy-three sects. Of them, seventy-two will go to Hell and only one sect will go to Paradise." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Haraz is a tribe among the people of Yemen.
