Is the hadith about the 73 branches sahih?

The hadith regarding "seventy-odd branches" (or sixty-odd branches) of faith (īmān), often confused in phrasing with the hadith of the seventy-three sects (firaq), is not discussed or evaluated for authenticity in this lecture series or in the text of Imam al-Harawi’s Manāzil al-Sā’irīn.

Because the corpus for this course does not address this specific hadith's grading or narration, no ruling or analysis from Dr. Hatem al-Haj on its authenticity is recorded here.

About the privacy check

Before a question and its answer appear here, an AI check looks for privacy-sensitive information (a name, an email address, a phone number, an address, a health condition), and anything it flags is not posted. The check is automated and imperfect. If something got through that exposes you or someone you know, email info@iaser.ai and it will be removed.
