—said, in the rigorously authentic hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah:
“We, the assembly of prophets, share one religion; and the person who has the strongest claim to Jesus son of Mary is I myself—there is no prophet between him and me.”
Hence the religion of the messengers stands in clear opposition to that of the polytheist innovators who fragmented their faith and became divergent sects.
وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الْمُتَّفَقِ عَلَى صِحَّتِهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
«إِنَّا مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ دِينُنَا وَاحِدٌ، وَإِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِابْنِ مَرْيَمَ لَأَنَا، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ»
.
فَدِينُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ يُخَالِفُ دِينَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ الْمُبْتَدِعِينَ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا دَيْنَهُمْ وَكَانُوا شِيَعًا.
