It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Islam began as something strange, and soon it will become strange again just as it began; so glad tidings to the strangers (those who remain firm on the truth as outsiders)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Amr bin al-Harith (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ibn Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him)."
