“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘My nation will not unite on misguidance, so if you see them differing, follow the great majority.’”

ابن ماجة:٣٩٥٠ – حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَانُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ السَّلاَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو خَلَفٍ الأَعْمَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أُمَّتِي لَنْ تَجْتَمِعَ عَلَى ضَلاَلَةٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ اخْتِلاَفًا فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّوَادِ الأَعْظَمِ
