Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: The hadith contains the words of the Prophet Are we now in the time of strangeness mentioned in the hadith?
Answer:
The hadith is valid, and the strangers among them are the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When it was said to him, “Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah?” he said, “Those who do good when people do evil.” In another narration,Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2630Da'if (Darussalam), these are the strangers. This is the explanation of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Imam, the Hafiz Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him), has a treatise on this topic. It is called *Kashf al-Kurba fi Hal Ahl al-Ghurba* (Relieving Distress in the State of the Strangers). It has been published separately and also published with the collection of Ibn Rajab’s treatises.
