Silsilah as-Sahihah 366 — Qualities and virtue of the strangers

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day we were sitting when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Glad tidings are for the strangers (ghuraba)." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who are meant by the strangers? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "They are the righteous people who are fewer in number compared to the evil ones, and those who disobey them are more than those who obey them."
