“When [the Mahdi] al-Qa'im appears, he will invite the people to a new mission as the Prophet [Muhammad] has invited the people to a New Order, Decree and Instructions (أمر جديد). Islam has begun strange and it will return strange as it has begun. Blessed are the strangers!”
Mohammad Baqer Majlesi, Bihar al-Anwar, vol.52 p.366; Mo’jam Ahadith al-Imam al-Mahdi, compiled and written under 'Ali Kurani by Mu'assisa Ma'arif Islami, vol.3 p.319. Note that the word that is commonly translated as “Strange” in this multiply-attested hadith is “Ghariban,” while the word that is commonly translated, as “Strangers” is “Ghurabaa.” The word "Gharib" (غَرِيب), means literally "strange" but also means, “foreigner,” (غَرِيب) and "gharrab" (غَرَّبَ) means “exile.”
