The Shaykh : It is not authentic.

The disagreement of my ummah is mercy

اختلاف أمتي رحمة

This hadith is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, the fact that one is not held accountable for differences in opinion is the point; that is, if the Ummah differs due to ijtihad (independent legal reasoning), they are shown mercy and forgiven.
