Sunan Ibn Majah 3993 (Book 36, Hadith 68) #33348
Splitting of the Ummah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned that his nation will split into seventy-two sects, all of which will be in Hell apart from one.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah said: 'The Children of Israel split into seventy-one sects, and my nation will split into seventy-two, all of which will be in Hell apart from one, which is the main body".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ افْتَرَقَتْ عَلَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي سَتَفْتَرِقُ عَلَى ثِنْتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ إِلاَّ وَاحِدَةً وَهِيَ الْجَمَاعَةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Anas bin Malik warns us about the splitting of the ummah, or Muslim community, into seventy-two sects. This means that there are many different interpretations and beliefs within Islam, and not everyone will agree on everything. However, only one sect is saved from Hellfire - the main body or majority group. This hadith serves as a reminder to Muslims to stay united and avoid division among themselves. It also encourages us to strive for unity within our faith and not let differences in opinion lead to conflict or hatred between believers.
