Today there is no emigration

Ata bin Abi Rabah رضى الله عنه reported: Ubaid bin Umar Al-Laithi and I visited Aisha رضي الله عنها and asked her about theHijrah (emigration). She said, “Today there is no emigration. A believer used to run away with his religion to Allah and His Messenger, fearing persecution in religion. Today Allah has made Islam manifest, and today a believer can worship his Lord wherever he likes. Rather, (taking the place of emigration is) struggling for the sake of Allah and good intentions.”

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 240]

عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ زُرْتُ عَائِشَةَ مَعَ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ فَسَأَلْنَاهَا عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَتْ لاَ هِجْرَةَ الْيَوْمَ، كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَفِرُّ أَحَدُهُمْ بِدِينِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُفْتَنَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَقَدْ أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ الإِسْلاَمَ، وَالْيَوْمَ يَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ، وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ

 Abu Said رضى الله عنه reported: A bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him about emigration. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Woe to you! The matter of emigration is difficult. Have you got some camels?” He said, “Yes.” The Prophet said, “Do you pay its charity?” He replied “Yes.” The Prophet said, “Do you let them be used by others?” He replied, “Yes.” The Prophet said, “Do you milk them on the proper day?” He replied, “Yes.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Then do good deeds beyond the sea. Indeed, Allah will never disregard any of your deeds.”

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 47, Number 801]

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ، فَقَالَ‏ وَيْحَكَ إِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ شَأْنُهَا شَدِيدٌ فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ فَتُعْطِي صَدَقَتَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَفَهَلْ تَمْنَحُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ فَتَحْلُبُهَا يَوْمَ وِرْدِهَا ‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ  فَاعْمَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبِحَارِ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَنْ يَتِرَكَ مِنْ عَمَلِكَ شَيْئًا
