The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Islam began as something strange and will return to being strange as it began, so blessed are the strangers."Someone asked, "Who are the strangers?"He replied, "Those who depart from their tribes."
حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد بن أبي شيبة وسمعته أنا من ابن أبي شيبة حدثنا حفص بن غياث عن الأعمش عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي الأحوص
قال رسول الله ﷺ إن الإسلام بدأ غريبا وسيعود غريبا كما بدأ فطوبى للغرباء قيل ومن الغرباء قال النزاع من القبائل
Its isnad is sahih. Tirmidhi 3:363 and Ibn Majah 2:249 both narrated it through the route of Hafs bin Ghiyath. Tirmidhi said, The hadith is hasan gharib sahih from the hadith of Ibn Masud, and we only know it from the hadith of Hafs bin Ghiyath from Amash. Abu Ahwas's name is Awf bin Malik bin Nadla Jushami. Hafs narrated it alone. See 1904.Ibn Athir said, "The nuzzaa from the tribes" are the plural of naazi and naziih, meaning the stranger who has removed himself from his family and his clan, that is, he has gone far away and become absent. It has also been said that it is because he yearns for his homeland, that is, he is drawn and inclined toward it. The first meaning is intended, that is, blessed are the migrants who left their homelands for the sake of Allah, exalted is He.
