a white hair on (the body of a) black ox or a black hair on (the body of a) white oxإلا كشعرة بيضاء في ثور أسود، أو كشعرة سوداء في ثور أبيض
Sahih Muslim 221a
"?

Answer:
Yes, it means in relation to creation from the first of creation. From the first of creation, this Ummah is a part of creation. Creation is vast, and none knows it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), but this small part contains great good.
