Lesson 8: unity & the straight path

4. The Saved Sect
“Indeed, the people of the Book before you split-up into
seventy-two sects. And this nation will split-up into
seventy-three sects, seventy two are in the Fire
and one is in Paradise.”
In another narration: “All of them are in the Fire except
one.” It was asked: Who is that one? He replied: “That
which I and my Companions are upon.”
[Hasan: Related by Abu Dawud (no.4597), Ahmad (4/102), at-Tirmidhi (5/62) and al-Hakim (1/128)
and others. It was authenticated by al-Hafidh al-’Iraqi in Takhrijul-Ihya (3/199) and
al-Albaani in as-Saheehah (no.204).]
Ibn Masud said: Allah’s Messenger ‫ ﷺ‬drew a line for us
and then said: “This is Allah’s Path.”
Then he drew lines to its right and its left, and said:
“These are differing paths, upon each of
them there is a shaytaan (devil) calling to it.”
Then he recited: “And verily this is My Path, so follow it,
and do not follow other paths for they will separate you
away from His Path.” (al-Anaam 6:153)
[Sahih: Related by Ahmad (1/435) and also al-Hakim (2/318) who authenticated and adh-Dhahabi agreed]
“I am leaving amongst you two things, you will never go astray
as long as you cling to them: the Book of Allah and my
Sunnah. They will not separate from each other, until you
meet me at the Lake.”
[Sahih: Related by al-Hakim from Abu Hurayrah. It was authenticated by al-Albaani in Takhrijul-Mishkat (no.186)]

Ibn Abbas said: “I fear that stones will descend upon you from
the sky, that I say to you that the Messenger of
Allah said; and you say to me that Abu Bakr
and Umar say something else!”
[Hasan: Related by Ahmad (no.3121), al-Khatib in al-Faqih wal-Muttafaqqih (1/145) and Ibn ’Abdul-Barr in
Jami’ Bayanul-’Ilm (2/196), from Sa’id ibn Jubayr.]
