[Quote] The Strangers by Shaykh 'Abdul'azīz ibn 'Abdullāh ibn Bāz رحمه الله

Shaykh 'Abdul'azīz ibn 'Abdullāh ibn Bāz:

It was said: 'O messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم), who are the Ghurabā?'

He said, "Those who rectify when the people are corrupt." (1)

Another wording, "They rectify what the people corrupted from the Sunnah." (2)

In the Hadīth of Abī Tha'labah (رضي الله عنه):

"The reward of one of them is 50."

It was said, "O messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم), from us of them?"

He said, "Rather, from you." (3)

And the reason for that: few supporters and assisters.

And several paths of destruction and doubts.

And several paths of destruction and callers to it.

Due to this their patient during the end of times, upon knowledge and actions, his reward is 50 from amongst the companions, like the reward of 50.

Because they found assistance in the emergence of Islām, in the strength of Islām and the Muslims, a lot of assisters and destruction of the enemies.

As for the end of times then it's opposite,.

The enemies are abundant, as well as the callers of misguidance and few supporters. 

And few assistance upon truth.
