And this community will separate after its Prophet -saww into seventy-three sects.

Seventy-two sects would be in the Fire and one sect would be in the Paradise. And from these seventy-three sects, thirteen would be of those who claim to be in our -asws Wilayah and show affection to us -asws . Twelve sects from these would be in the Fire and one sect would be in the Paradise. And sixty sects from the rest of the people would be in the Fire\u2019.
