حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ الضَّحَّاکِ الْمِشْرَقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَدِيثٍ ذَکَرَ فِيهِ قَوْمًا يَخْرُجُونَ عَلَی فُرْقَةٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ يَقْتُلُهُمْ أَقْرَبُ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ مِنْ الْحَقِّ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2461
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: A group will secede at a time of division among the people, and they will be killed by the group that is closer to the truth.
