✦⋆· Prophet Muhammad (saw) said,"O people, stay with the congregation and stay away from division."
● "Allah's Hand [i.e. divine aid] is with the congregation. Whenever a straying individual deviates, Shaytan snatches him up like a wolf snatches a sheep straying from the herd."
● "Congregation [upon the truth] is a mercy and division is chastisement."
● The Prophet (saw), when asked, "Who are the congregation of your community?", replied, "Those who are with the truth, even if they are but ten people."
✦⋆· Imam Ali (as), when asked to explain the terms: sunnah [Prophetic practice], innovation, congregation and division, said, "By Allah, the sunnah is the tradition of Muhammad (saw); innovation is anything that deviates from it; the congregation is the gathering of people who are with the truth, even if they are few in number; and division is the dissention of people who are with falsehood, even if they be many in number."
