It was narrated from Mu’aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood among us and said:
“Those who came before you of the people of the Book split into seventy-two sects, and this ummah will split into seventy-three: seventy-two in Hell and one in Paradise, and that is the jamaa’ah (main body of Muslims).”
Narrated by Abu Dawood (4597) and others; classed as saheeh by al-Haakim (1/128),
Who are the 72 misguided sects? Who is the guided group? And are we among them?
