Hadith no. 8: “Glad Tidings are for the Strangers Upon the Sunnah.”
ʿAbdullāh Ibn Masʿūd (radiyallāhu ʿanhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ʿalaihu wasallam) said:
بَدَأَ الإِسْلاَمُ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ قِيلَ مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يُصْلِحُونَ إِذَا فَسَدَ النَّاسُ
“Islam began as something strange, and it will return just as it began as something strange, so glad tidings are for the Strangers.” It was said: “Who are they, O Allah’s Messenger?” He responded: “Those who rectify when the people cause corruption.” (Muslim, no. 145, At-Tirmidhī, no. 2629, Ahmad in al-Musnad, no. 16690, Ibn Mājah, no. 3988)
