2630. Kathīr bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr bin 'Awf bin Zaid bin Milhah narrated from his father, from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed the religion will creep into the Hijāz just like a snake creeps into its hole, and the religion will cling to the Hijāz just like the female mountain goat cling, to the peak of a mountain. Indeed the religion began as something strange and it will return to being strange. So Tūba is for the strangers who correct what the people have corrupted from my Sunnah after me." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Sahih].

٢٦٣٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ مِلْحَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الدِّينَ لَيَأْرِزُ» إِلَى الْحِجَازِ كَمَا تَأْرِزُ الْحَيَّةُ إِلَى جُحْرِهَا، وَلَيَعْقِلَنَّ الدِّينُ مِنَ الْحِجَازِ مَعْقِلَ الْأُرْوِيَّةِ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْجَبَلِ، إِنَّ الدِّينَ بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا وَيَرْجِعُ غَرِيبًا، فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُصْلِحُونَ مَا أَفْسَدَ النَّاسُ مِنْ بَعْدِي مِنْ سُنَّتِي. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.
