Assalamu Alaikum and Ramadhan Mubarak to everyone here!

Recently, I've been hearing and reading a lot about this hadith,

"My Ummah will be fragmented into seventy-three (73) sects. All of them will be in Hell Fire except one sect. They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, which is that? Whereupon he said: It is one to which I and my companions belong". [Tirmidhi. 171]

And I was wondering, how authentic is this hadith?

Jazakallah Khair. :)

yes bro, as far as I know, and I've heard so many scholars quoting this hadeeth.

and the sad part is: the Jews- they will be divided into 71sects, The Christians will be divided into 72 sects and the Muslims will be divided into 73sects!

and I think, if we gonna start counting......i think it would not be very difficult to meet the numbers!

wa-llahu a'lam
wassalam

It was narrated from Mu’aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood among us and said: “Those who came before you of the people of the Book split into seventy-two sects, and this ummah will split into seventy-three: seventy-two in Hell and one in Paradise, and that is the jamaa’ah (main body of Muslims).”

Narrated by Abu Dawood (4597) and others; classed as saheeh by al-Haakim (1/128), who said: it is an important hadeeth that represents a basic principle. It was classed as hasan by Ibn Hajar in Takhreej al-Kashshaaf (63). It was classed as saheeh by Ibn Taymiyah in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (3/345), al-Shaatibi in al-I’tisaam (1/430), and al-‘Iraaqi in Takhreej al-Ihya’ (9/133). It is mentioned frequently and often quoted as evidence by the scholars in the books of Sunnah, and it was narrated from a number of the Sahaabah via many isnaads, most of the soundest of which specify the number of sects as being seventy-three.

Sects are the groups with different 'Aqeedah (Belief). For example: Shi'a, Ahmadiyans, Bahaaiyya, Maathureedhiyya, Khawarij, Mu'utazila etc etc.

The only saved sect from all is Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaa'ah. :)
