Musnad ash-Shihab 1052 — The religion began as something strange
1052 - وأنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَنْمَاطِيُّ، نا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، نا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحُنَيْنِيِّ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الدِّينَ بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا، وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا، فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ» ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنِ الْغُرَبَاءُ؟ قَالَ: «الَّذِينَ يُحْيُونَ سُنَّتِي وَيُعَلِّمُونَهَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ»
Kathir bin Abdullah Muzani narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the religion began as something strange, and soon it will return to being strange just as it began, so glad tidings are for the strangers." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who are the strangers? He said: "Those who revive my Sunnah and teach it to the servants of Allah."
