Explanation of the Hadith: Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah? He said: (They are those who will repair what people have corrupted of my Sunnah after me)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The second hadith: The Messenger (peace be upon him) was also asked: Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah? He said:
they will set right the corruptions caused in my sunna by people after my death هم الذين يُصلِحُون ما أفسد الناس من سُنَّتي من بعدي
Mishkat al-Masabih 170Isnād Da'īf Jiddan (Zubair `Aliza'i)
. This is also a clear and obvious state of being a stranger... All strangers share this nature; they call for reviving the Sunnah and killing off religious innovation at a time when realities have been inverted, so the Sunnah has become an innovation and the innovation has become the Sunnah. When people are told: This is an innovation, they say: Oh, fear Allah! He denies the sending of salutations to the Messenger, he denies the remembrance of Allah, he denies the miracles of the righteous, he denies, he denies, and he never denies any of the truths, but rather he denies illusions and ideas that people have adopted over time until they became part of their creed; therefore, they strongly reject those strangers who say: This is the Sunnah, so adhere to it, and what you are upon is the innovation, so stop it.
they will set right the corruptions caused in my sunna by people after my death هم الذين يُصلِحُون ما أفسد الناس من سُنَّتي من بعدي
Mishkat al-Masabih 170Isnād Da'īf Jiddan (Zubair `Aliza'i)
.
The third and final narration, which applies to some of these strangers but not all of them, is his saying (peace be upon him):
They are the al-Nuzzā' from the tribes هم النُّزَّاع من القبائل
. Al-Nuzzā' is the plural of nā'iz, and the nā'iz is the one who left his homeland; it is said: So-and-so left his homeland, meaning he emigrated from it, but his emigration from his homeland was in the way of pleasing his Lord (Mighty and Majestic), and that is when he finds himself in a society where he is unable to practice the Sunnah and call to it, so he emigrates just as the first emigrants emigrated from Makkah to al-Madinah so that they could be able to perform the Islamic rites, and history must repeat itself as they say, so likewise the Messenger (peace be upon him) said regarding the end of time that among the strangers are the al-Nuzzā' from the tribes; they leave their lands and homelands for other lands where they are able to carry out the Shari'ah of Islam in the correct manner based on the Book and the Sunnah; so these are the strangers, and that is the reward of these strangers; for them is bliss in Paradise,
Blessed are they, and good is their return طُوبَى لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَآبٍ
