حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْفٍ وَقَرَأْتُ فِي أَصْلِ إِسْمَعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمٌ عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکٍ يَعْنِي الْأَشْعَرِيَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَجَارَکُمْ مِنْ ثَلَاثِ خِلَالٍ أَنْ لَا يَدْعُوَ عَلَيْکُمْ نَبِيُّکُمْ فَتَهْلَکُوا جَمِيعًا وَأَنْ لَا يَظْهَرَ أَهْلُ الْبَاطِلِ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْحَقِّ وَأَنْ لَا تَجْتَمِعُوا عَلَی ضَلَالَةٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4253
Narrated Abu Malik al-Ashari: The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah has protected you from three things: that your Prophet should not invoke a curse on you and should all perish, that those who follow what is false should not prevail over those who follow the truth, and that you should not all agree in an error.
