حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَازِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ
أَنَّهُ قَامَ فِينَا فَقَالَ: أَلاَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِينَا فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ إِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ افْتَرَقُوا عَلَى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمِلَّةَ سَتَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى ثَلاَثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ، ثِنْتَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ فِي النَّارِ، وَوَاحِدَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَهِيَ الْجَمَاعَةُ». زَادَ ابْنُ يَحْيَى وَعَمْرٌو فِي حَدِيثَيْهِمَا: «وَإِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَقْوَامٌ تَجَارَى بِهِمْ تِلْكَ الأَهْوَاءُ كَمَا يَتَجَارَى الْكَلْبُ لِصَاحِبِهِ». وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: «الْكَلْبُ بِصَاحِبِهِ، لاَ يَبْقَى مِنْهُ عِرْقٌ وَلاَ مَفْصِلٌ إِلاَّ دَخَلَهُ».

He stood among us and said, “Take note! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us and said: “Take note! The People of the Scripture before you divided into seventy-two religious communities, and this religious community will divide into seventy-three. Seventy-two will be in the Fire and one will be in the Garden, and it is the united community.” Ibn Yahya and Amr added in their two versions: “There will emerge from my nation people through whom those desires will spread just as rabies spreads through its victim.” Amr said: “Rabies will spread through its victim, leaving no vein or joint without entering it.”
