The famous Sahabi Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman(RA) said, "People used to ask the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) about good things, but I used to ask him about bad things because I was afraid that they might overtake me. I said, 'OMessenger of Allah, we were lost in ignorance (Jahiliyyah) and evil, then Allah brought this good (i.e. Islam). Will some evil come after this good thing?' He said, 'Yes' I asked, 'And will some good come after that evil?'
He said, 'Yes, but it will be tainted with some evil' I asked, 'How will it be tainted?' He said, 'There will be some people who will lead others on a path different from mine. You will see good and bad in them.
I asked,'Will some evil come after that good?' He said, 'Some people will be standing and calling at the gates of Hell; whoever responds to their call, they will throw him into the Fire.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, describe them for us.' He said, 'They will be from our own people, and will speak our language.' I asked, 'What do you advise me to do if I should live to see that?'
He said, 'Stick to the main body (jama'ah) of the Muslims and their leader (Imam). I asked, What if there is no main body and no leader?' He said 'Isolate yourself from all of these sects,even if you have to eat the roots of trees until death overcomes you while you are in that state.'"
-"...By Him in Whose hand is my soul, my Ummah will split into seventy-three sects: one will enter Paradise and seventy-two will enter Hell." Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah,who will they be?" He replied, "The main body of the Muslims(al-Jama'ah)."
'Awf ibn Malik(RA) is the only one who reported this Hadith, and its isnad is acceptable.
-"...Verily the Israelites were divided into 72 sects but my people will be divided into 73 sects, all of them will be in the fire except one.' The companions asked. 'Who are they O Messenger of Allah,' Holy Prophet (pbuh)said. `They are those who will be like me and my companions.’ (Tirmidhi -Kitabul Eeman)
