عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَنَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((بَدَأَ الْإِسْلَامُ غَرِيبًا ثُمَّ يَعُودُ غَرِيبًا كَمَا بَدَأَ، فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ)) قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَمَنِ الْغُرَبَاءُ؟ قَالَ: ((الَّذِينَ يُصْلِحُونَ إِذَا فَسَدَ النَّاسُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيَنْحَازَنَّ الْإِيمَانُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا يَحُوزُ السَّيْلُ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيُؤْرِزَنَّ الْإِسْلَامُ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدَيْنِ كَمَا تُؤْرِزُ الْحَيَّةُ إِلَى جُحْرِهَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Sannah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Islam began in a state of estrangement, and soon it will return to being as strange as it began, so glad tidings are for the strangers." Someone asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Who are the strangers?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "They are those who, when corruption spreads among the people, they reform (the situation). By the One in Whose hand is my soul! Faith will retreat to Madinah just as a flood flows towards its lowest point. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! Islam will seek refuge between these two mosques just as a snake seeks refuge in its hole."
