English translation

4169. It was narrated from Abū Sa'eed that a Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about emigration (Hijrah). He said: "Woe to you, emigration is very important. Do you have any camels?" He said: "Yes. He said: "Do you pay Sadaqah on them?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Do righteous deeds no matter how far away[1] you are from the Muslims, for Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, will never cause any of your deeds to be lost.”

Arabic text

4164 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ، فَقَالَ: «وَيْحَكَ إِنَّ شَأْنَ الْهِجْرَةِ شَدِيدٌ، فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «فَهَلْ تُؤَدِّي صَدَقَتَهَا؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «فَاعْمَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبِحَارِ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَنْ يَتِرَكَ مِنْ عَمَلِكَ شَيْئًا»

    [1] "From beyond the Bihâr", while Bihâr means "seas," they say the meaning is lands or cities in this context.

Commentary

The commentaries explain this narration in a way similar to the previous. It could have occurred after the Conquest of Makkah, or it was understood that it would be too difficult for this person. This could be implied by his ﷺ saying that Hijrah is a “Shadīd” matter, meaning – in this case – difficult.
