This Hadith is Sahih and was reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).a group of Hadith scholars added in another narration: It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who are the strangers? He replied: Those who perform good deeds while others make mischief.
In another wording: Those who correct what the people have corrupted of my Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet). And in another wording: They are the strangers among their tribes. In another wording: They are the righteous few among the evil masses.
What is meant here is that the "Ghuraba' (strangers)" are the people of integrity and that Jannah (Paradise) and happiness are for those strangers who will rectify what others have corrupted. When the conditions change, matters become unclear, and the righteous people are few, they adhere steadfastly to the truth and to the religion of Allah. They sincerely worship Allah Alone, perform Salah (prayer), pay Zakah (obligatory charity), observe Sawm (fast), perform Hajj (pilgrimage), and all other acts of worship.
Towards the end of time there will be those who hold fast to the religion of Allah while others fall by the wayside. When disbelief, disobedience, and evil increase, these strangers will remain obedient to Allah and His religion. They will be granted Paradise and Happiness with a goodly reward in this life and the Hereafter.[Fatwa Nur ala al-Darb]
