"سَيَأْتِي عَلَى أُمَّتى مَا أتَى عَلَى بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ مثْلًا بِمِثل، حَذْوَ النَّعْلِ بِالنَّعْلِ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمْ مَنْ نَكَحَ أُمَّهُ عَلاَنِيَةً، كَانَ فِي أُمَّتِى مِثْلُهُ، إنَّ بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَلَى ثِنْتَينِ وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً، وسَتَفْترق أُمَّتِى علَى ثَلَاثٍ وسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً، كُلُّهَا فِى النَّار غَيْرَ وَاحِدةٍ قيلَ: وَمَا تِلْكَ الْوَاحِدَةُ؟ قَالَ: مَا أَنَا عَلَيْه الْيوْمَ وَأَصْحَابي".

Indeed, the Children of Israel divided into seventy-two sects, and my nation will divide into seventy-three sects, all of which will be in the Fire except one." It was asked, "Which is that one?" He said, "That which I and my companions are upon today.
