It was narrated that 'Arfajah bin Shuraih Al-Ashja'I said:

"I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) [ﷺ] on the Minbar addressing the people. He said: 'After me there will be many calamities and much evil behavior. Whoever you see splitting away from the Jama'ah or trying to create division among the Ummah of Muhammad [ﷺ], then kill him, for the Hand of Allah is with the Jama'ah, and the Shaitan is with the one who splits away from the Ummah, running with him.'"
