حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ , حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ , عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق , عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا , وَسَيَعُودُ غَرِيبًا , فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ " , قَالَ : قِيلَ : وَمَنِ الْغُرَبَاءُ ؟ قَالَ : النُّزَّاعُ مِنَ الْقَبَائِلِ .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.” It was said: “Who are the strangers?’ He said: “Strangers who have left their families and tribes.”

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The meaning is that when Islam came, the lives of its followers were spent in such a state of estrangement that people harbored hatred towards them,
and considered associating with them to be a disgrace for themselves,
and they would inflict harm upon them.
In exactly such a state of estrangement, in the final era of Islam, its followers will be found.
But glad tidings and congratulations are for those people who embraced Islam in this state of estrangement, and for those who will embrace it in its final era,
and who, bearing the harm from enemies, will continue to serve and propagate it with their lives and wealth.
