Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): “Islam was strange at first, and will soon return to its original state. Blessed be strangers! Then he said
“Have you not seen any good men in a tribe about whom they say: He is like a stranger among them?”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن الإسلام بدأ غريبا وسيعود كما بدأ، فطوبى للغرباء، ثم قال: أما رأيت الرجل يكون في القبيلة صالحا، فيقال: إن فلانا لغريب فيهم.
