چکیده:
ملخص البحث وقع أمر الله الکونی القدری علی هذه الأمة بالفرقة والاختلاف کما وقع فی الأمم السابقة لنا، وأمر تبارک وتعالی المسلمین شرعاً بالجماعة والائتلاف وتحقیق مبدأ الأخوة بین المسلمین بشتی الوسائل والطرق. ومن دلائل نبوة النبی (ص) أن أخبر بتفرّق الأمة إلی ثلاث وسبعین فرقة، وکان من تمام نصحه أن بیّن للأمة صفات الفرقة الناجیة، ولم یرد عنه (ص) تعیین هذه الفرق أو تسمیتها، وإن کان ورد عنه فی أحادیث أخری ذکر صفات أهل البدع الذین سیظهرون من بعده، کما وردت بعض الروایات بتسمیة أربع فرق عدّها بعض العلماء أنها أصول الفرق التی تشعّبت عنها بعد ذلک
ABSTRACT
Subject: Counting and identifying Islamic sects
Allāh's commandment which was universally decreed had made disunity
and disagreement happened among this nation the way it happened among the
previous nations before us. And Allāh the Blessed and Exalted commanded
the Muslims to unite and agree with each other’s by His lovely will and to
establish fundamentals of brotherhood with different strategies and ways.
Part of the Prophet's prophetic foretokens was what he mentioned
regarding the division of his nation into seventy-three sects, and part of his
perfect advice was how he explained the features of the saved sect to his
nation. The indication or nomination of those deviate sects was not reported
from him -PBUH-, although he mentioned in another traditions the attributes
of upcoming innovators who would appear after his demise, the way some
narrations mentioned four deviate sects which were regarded as the basic sects
by some scholars in which other sects originated from
