وَمِنْهَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنِ الْأَزْهَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ لُحَيٍّ قَالَ
حَجَجْنَا مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ أُخْبِرَ بِقَاصٍّ يَقُصُّ عَلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي فَرُّوخٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ فَقَالَ أُمِرْتَ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَصِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَقُصَّ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ قَالَ نُنْشِئُ عِلْمًا عَلَمَنَاهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لَوْ كُنْتُ تَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكَ لَقَطَعْتُ مِنْكَ طَائِفَةً ثُمَّ قَامَ حِينَ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَفَرَّقُوا فِي دِينِهِمْ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً وَتَفْتَرِقُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً وَهِيَ الْجَمَاعَةُ وَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَقْوَامٌ تَتَجَارَى بِهِمْ تِلْكَ الْأَهْوَاءُ كَمَا يَتَجَارَى الْكَلْبُ بِصَاحِبِهِ فَلَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُ عِرْقٌ وَلَا مَفْصِلٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهُ وَاللَّهِ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعَرَبِ لَئِنْ لَمْ تَقُومُوا بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ لَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ أَحْرَى أَنْ لَا تَقُومُوا بِهِ»

✧ We performed Hajj with Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan, and when we arrived in Mecca, he was informed of a storyteller who was narrating to the people of Mecca, a servant of the Banu Farrukh. Mu'awiya sent for him and asked, "Were you ordered to give these narrations?" He replied, "No." Mu'awiya then asked, "So what led you to narrate without permission?" The man replied, "We are imparting knowledge that Allah has taught us." Mu'awiya said, "Had I warned you beforehand, I would have severed a part of you." Then, after the Dhuhr prayer in Mecca, Mu'awiya stood up and said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The People of the Book divided themselves into seventy-two sects in their religion, and this Ummah will divide into seventy-three, all of which will be in the fire except one, which is the congregation. From my Ummah, there will emerge people driven by desires just as rabies drives its host, leaving no vein or joint without being infected. By Allah, O Arabs, if you do not uphold that which Muhammad ﷺ brought, surely nothing else will you uphold."
Notes
These are chains of narration used to establish the authenticity of this Hadith. This Hadith has been narrated from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As and Amr ibn Awf al-Muzani through two chains of narration, one uniquely narrated by Abdur-Rahman ibn Ziyad al-Ifriqi and the other by Kathir ibn Abdullah al-Muzani, neither of which can be used as conclusive evidence. These are chains of narration used to establish the argument.
«هَذِهِ أَسَانِيدُ تُقَامُ بِهَا الْحُجَّةُ فِي تَصْحِيحِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ بِإِسْنَادَيْنِ تَفَرَّدَ بِأَحَدِهِمَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْأَفْرِيقِيُّ وَالْآخَرُ كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ وَلَا تَقُومُ بِهِمَا الْحُجَّةُ» هذه أسانيد تقوم بها الحجة
