The Sunnah Is Strange

[TheAuthenticBase]

Awzaa’ee said, in the explanation of the hadeeth of the strangers:

“Islaam will not disappear, it is Ahlus Sunnah that will disappear to the point that there will only remain one of them in any one country.”
​

Al-Hasan would say to his colleagues:

“O Ahlus Sunnah! Be gentle with each other, may Allaah have mercy upon you, for you are from the fewest of people!”
​

[Laalikaa'ee, #19]

Yoonus Ibn ‘Ubayd said:

“There is nothing stranger than the Sunnah and stranger still is the one who knows it”
​

It is also reported that he said:

“It has come to the point that one who knows the Sunnah will think it is something strange, and stranger than this person is who finds the Sunnah something familiar.”
​

[Laalikaa'ee, #21 & Ibn Batta, #20]

Sufyaan Ath-Thawree said:

“Treat Ahlus Sunnah well, for they are the strangers.”

[Laalikaa'ee, #49]
