Chapter: Islam began as something strange
Hadith 3988
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.”
