Hadith 6

(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – It is reported from Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said to the chief of the Jews: ‘Into how many have you divided? ’ He said, ‘Into such and such sects’. He-asws said: ‘You are lying’. Then he-asws faced towards the people and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! If the platform were to be set up for me, I-asws would judge between the people of the Torah by their Torah, and between the people of the Enagel by their Evangel, and between the people of the Quran by their Quran. The Jews divided into seventy-one sects, seventy of these are in the Fire and one would attain salvation being in the Paradise, and it is which followed Yoshua Bin Noun-as, successor-as of Musa-asws; and the Christians divided into seventy-two sects, seventy-one would be in the Fire and one would be in the Paradise, and it is which followed Shamoun-as, successor-as of Isa-as. And this community will divide into seventy three sects, seventy-two sects would be in the Fire and one in the Paradise, and it is which would have followed the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww’ – and he-saww struck with his-saww hand upon his-saww chest, then said: ‘Thirteen sects from the seventy-three sects, all of these would be arrogating my-saww cordiality and my-saww love, one of these would be in the Paradise, and they are the ones of moderate style, and twelve would be in the Fire’’.
