"إِنَّ بَنى إِسْرئيلَ تَفَرقَّتْ علَى إِحْدَى وسبعين فِرْقَةً، وإِنَّ هذه الأُمَّةَ ستزيدُ عليهم فِرْقَةً، كلُّهَا في النَّارِ إِلَّا السَّوادَ الأعْظَمَ ".
Hadith of the 73 sects
The Prophet ﷺ said: The Jews were split up into seventy-one or seventy-two sects; and the Christians were split up into seventy one or seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three sects.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ افْتَرَقَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى إِحْدَى أَوْ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَتَفَرَّقَتِ النَّصَارَى عَلَى إِحْدَى أَوْ ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَتَفْتَرِقُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى ثَلاَثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً
‘The Children of Israel split into seventy-one sects, and my nation will split into seventy-two, all of which will be in Hell apart from one, which is the main body.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ افْتَرَقَتْ عَلَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي سَتَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ إِلاَّ وَاحِدَةً وَهِيَ الْجَمَاعَةُ
The division of Jews and Christians into different sects
ذِكْرُ افْتِرَاقِ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى فِرَقًا مُخْتَلِفَةً
The Prophet ﷺ said: The Jews were split up into seventy-one or seventy-two sects; and the Christians were split up into seventy one or seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three sects. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4596)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «افْتَرَقَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَافْتَرَقَتِ النَّصَارَى عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَتَفْتَرِقُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً»
[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The Children of Israel have divided into seventy-one sects, and my Ummah will divide into even more sects. All of them will be in the Hellfire except for the majority group."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «افْتَرَقَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا أُمَّتِي فِرْقَةً كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا السَّوَادَ الْأَعْظَمَ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: The Jews were split up into seventy-one or seventy-two sects; and the Christians were split up into seventy one or seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three sects. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4596)
"افْتَرقت اليهودُ على إِحدى وسَبْعين فرقةً، وتَفَرَّقت النَّصارى على ثنتين وسَبْعين فرقةً، وتَفْتَرِق أُمَّتِي على ثلاثٍ وسبعين فرقةً" .
[AI] The Jews split into seventy-one or seventy-two sects, and the Christians likewise. My nation will be divided into seventy-three sects, all of whom will be in the Fire except for one. They asked, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Those who follow what I and my companions are upon."
"افْترقتِ اليَهُودُ على إِحْدَى أوْ اثنتين وَسَبْعينَ فرقةً، والنَّصارى كَذَلِكَ، وَتفَتَرِق أُمَّتِي على ثلاث وَسبَعِينَ فرقةً، كُلُّهم في النَّارِ إِلا وَاحدة قالوا: مَنْ هِيَ يا رَسُولَ الله؟ قال: مَا أنا عليه وأصْحَابِي".
[AI] "Indeed, the children of Israel divided into seventy-one sects, and indeed, my nation will divide into seventy-two sects, all of which will be in the fire except for one, and that is the group."
"إِنَّ بَنى إِسْرئيلَ افْتَرَقَتْ على إِحدى وسبعين فِرْقة، وإِنَّ أُمَّتى سَتَفْترِقُ على ثِنتيْنِ وسبعين فِرْقَةً، كلُّهَا في النارِ إِلَّا واحدةٌ، وهى الجماعةُ".
[AI] The Children of Israel split into seventy-one sects, and the Christians split into seventy-two sects, and my nation will exceed them by one sect; all of them will be in the fire except the great majority.
"تَفَرَّقَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ علَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً، وَتَفَرَّقَتْ النَّصَارَى عَلَى اثْنَتَيْن وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً، وَأُمَّتِى تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِرْقَةً، كُلَّهَا فِى النَّارِ إِلَّا السَّوَادَ الأَعْظَمَ".
