Indeed, I can't recall the name of the book I guess it was written by Bilal phillips on the 4 schools of thoughts, towards the end of the book he made a very interesting point about sectarianism, each theological school thought tried hard in maintaining reason why they blindly follow their school of thought each using various hadiths including one that say differeces is a mercy for the ummah, but sometimes we apply the wrong lesson from the hadiths, despite the fact that each of the schools of thoughts founders kept emphasizing their humility in knowledge and possibilities of making mistakes, but unfortunately later followers became to entwined with their beliefs. The point remains, most sects if not all are later day invention either due to interpretation of certain hadiths or verse.

The hadith you quoted is a fabricated hadith according to the muhaditheen
