4170. It was narrated that ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr said: “A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! Which emigration (Hijrah) is best?’ He said: ‘To leave what your Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, dislikes.’ He said: ‘There are two kinds of emigration, the emigration of the town dweller and the emigration of the Bedouin. As for the Bedouin, when he is called (to fight in Jihād) he must respond, and he must obey when he is commanded, and as for the town dweller, he is the one who is more severely tested and more greatly rewarded.”’ (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
The lexical meaning of the term Hijrah is ‘to renounce, to dissociate, to keep away, or part company’. Commonly known emigration entails one’s giving up one’s home, kith and kin, property, and chattels. From this dimension, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stated that the most meritorious emigrations is to abandon sins.
