Sahih Muslim 1065c (Book 12, Hadith 196) #9595
The Emergence of a Group in the Ummah

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of the emergence of a group that will secede itself from two other groups in the Ummah, and that one of these two groups will be closer to the truth and will kill them.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger as saying: There would be two groups in my Ummah, and there would emerge another group (seceding itself from both of them), and the party nearer to the truth among the two would kill them (the group of the Khawarij).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ تَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي فِرْقَتَانِ فَتَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمَا مَارِقَةٌ يَلِي قَتْلَهُمْ أَوْلاَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ

Follow Islamic Teachings Correctly, Stand Up Against Wrongdoing
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how there are three different groups within the Muslim community. Two of these groups are considered to be closer to truth than the third group, which is known as Khawarij. The two other groups have been instructed by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to fight against this third group because they are not following Islamic teachings correctly. This hadith teaches us that it is important for Muslims to stay united and follow Islamic teachings correctly so that we can remain on the path of truth. It also teaches us that it is important for us to stand up against those who do not follow Islamic teachings correctly, as this could lead them astray from Islam and cause division among Muslims.
