6 Strangers In 6 Situations.
The Prophet ﷺ said,
“Six things are strangers in six situations;
The mosque is a stranger amongst people who do not pray;
The Qur’an is a stranger in a household where it is not read;
The memorised Qur’an is a stranger in the heart of an open sinner (fasiq);
A righteous Muslim woman is a stranger in the hands of an oppressive husband of bad character;
A pious Muslim man is a stranger in the hands of an evil wife of bad character;
And a scholar is a stranger amongst a group of people who do not listen to him.”
Then he said, “Verily Allah the Exalted will not look at them on the Day of Judgement in a merciful manner.”
