وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ حَدَّثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ: الْجَمَاعَةُ

✧ The community of Moses ﷺ divided into seventy-one sects, seventy of them in the Fire and one in Paradise. The community of Jesus ﷺ divided into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of them in the Fire and one in Paradise. And my community will exceed the two communities together by one sect: seventy-two in the Fire and one in Paradise. They said: Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? He ﷺ said: The main body.
