4172. It was narrated from Kathîr bin Murrah that Abû Fâtimah told him that he said: "O Messenger of Allâh, tell me of an action that I may do and persist in it." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: "You should emigrate, for there is nothing like it." (Shâih)

Arabic text

4167 - أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارِ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ سُمَيْعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا فَاطِمَةَ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، حَدِّثْنِي بِعَمَلٍ أَسْتَقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْمَلُهُ، قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكَ بِالْهِجْرَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهَا»

Commentary

Things are dictated by the turn of time and circumstances. At times, emigration is superior, at other times the Jihâd, and sometimes one thing and at another time another thing. Likewise, persona too differs from man to man. For someone, emigration is meritorious, for someone else something else; as the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had prevented the Bedouin from emigrating, see Ahâdith 4168-69.
