"عَنْ علِى قَالَ: افْتَرقَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائيلَ بَعْدَ مُوسَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَة كلُّهَا فِى النار إِلاَّ فرْقَة وَافْتَرَقَتْ النَّصَارَى بَعْدَ عِيسَى عَلَى اثْنَتيْن وَسَبْعينَ فِرْقَة كُلُّهَا فِى النَّارِ إِلاَ فِرْقَة، وَلَتَفْتَرِقَن هَذهِ الأمَّةُ عَلَى ثَلاَث وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْفَة كُلُّهَا فِى النَّارِ إِلاَّ فِرْقَة، فَأمَّا اليَهُودُ فَإِنَّ الله يَقُولُ: {وَمِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَى أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ} فَهَذهِ الَّتِى تَنْجُو، وَأَمَّا النصَارَى فَإِنَّ الله يَقُولُ {مِنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُقْتَصِدَةٌ} فَهَذِهِ الَّتِى تَنْجُو، أمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَقُولُ: {وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ} فَهَذِهِ الَّتى تَنْجُو مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ".

Ali said: 'After Musa, the Children of Israel split into seventy-one sects, all of them in the Fire except one sect. The Christians split after 'Isa into seventy-two sects, all of them in the Fire except one sect. And this Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of them in the Fire except one sect. As for the Jews, Allah says: {And among the people of Musa is a community who guide by the truth and by it act justly}, so this is the one that will be saved. As for the Christians, Allah says: {Among them is a moderate community}, so this is the one that will be saved. As for us, we say: {And among those We created is a community who guide by the truth and by it act justly}, so this is the one that will be saved from this Ummah.'
