حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْهَوْزَنِيُّ - قَالَ أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: الْحَرَازِيُّ -، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ لُحَيٍّ، قَالَ: حَجَجْنَا مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ قَامَ حِينَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ، فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابَيْنِ افْتَرَقُوا فِي دِينِهِمْ عَلَى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ، ، الْأُمَّةَ سَتَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ مِلَّةً - يَعْنِي: الْأَهْوَاءَ -، كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً، وَهِيَ الْجَمَاعَةُ، وَإِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ فِي أُمَّتِي أَقْوَامٌ تَجَارَى بِهِمْ تِلْكَ الْأَهْوَاءُ كَمَا يَتَجَارَى الْكَلْبُ بِصَاحِبِهِ، لَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُ عِرْقٌ وَلَا مَفْصِلٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهُ " وَاللهِ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعَرَبِ لَئِنْ لَمْ تَقُومُوا بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ نَبِيُّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَغَيْرُكُمْ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحْرَى أَنْ لَا يَقُومَ بِهِ (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
Abu Amir says that once we performed Hajj with Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). When we reached Makkah Mukarramah, he stood up after offering the Zuhr prayer and said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The Jews and Christians were divided into seventy-two sects in their religion, while this Ummah will be divided into seventy-three sects. All of them will go to Hell except one, and that one sect will be upon the path of the group of Companions. And in my Ummah, there will also come such peoples upon whom these sects (and desires) will prevail just as a dog attacks someone, and there will not remain any vein or joint in that person in which the poison does not penetrate. By Allah! O group of Arabs! If you do not remain steadfast upon the Shariah brought by your Prophet, then others will be even less steadfast upon it."
