The Shaykh spoke about the hadith of the sects.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So among those well-known hadiths, as I mentioned earlier, is the hadith of the seventy-three sects, and none of you is unaware of it. It is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): We find that the answer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) to those who asked about the saved sect coincides exactly with the previous verse: [An-Nisa 4:115] The believers referred to in this noble verse are the Companions, who are the first to fall under the generality of the verse: [An-Nisa 4:115] They are the path of the Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Jews split into seventy-one sects, and the Christians split into seventy-two sects, and my Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of them in the Fire except one. They said: Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? He said: It is that upon which I and my Companions are.
تفرقت اليهود على إحدى و سبعين فرقة و تفرقت النصارى على اثنتين و سبعين فرقة و ستفترق أمتي على ثلاث و سبعين فرقة كلها في النار إلا واحدة قالوا: من هي يا رسول الله ؟ قال: هي ما أنا عليه و أصحابيand follows other than the way of the believers
و يتبع غير سبيل المؤمنينand follows other than the way of the believers
و يتبع غير سبيل المؤمنين
