“Never will I relent, by God!” he exclaimed. The
Prophet then went out to see the quarrelling
pair. “Who is this, swearing in God’s name that

I, Prophet of God,” he owned up. Then he
added, “He can have whatever arrangement he
pleases.”
(AL-BUKHARI, MUSLIM)

COMPANIONS
The Prophet said: “The Jews broke up into
seventy-one sects and the Christians into seventy-
two. This community will break up into seventy
three, all of which will be in the Fire, except of
one.” “Which one is that, Prophet of God?” the
Companions asked him. “Those who follow my
path and that of my Companions,” the Prophet
replied.

TAFSIR)
