عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَ ((وَيْحَكَ إِنَّ شَأْنَهَا شَدِيدٌ فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ)) قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ ((هَلْ تُؤَدِّي صَدَقَتَهَا)) قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ ((هَلْ تَمْنَحُ مِنْهَا)) قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ ((هَلْ تَحْلِبُهَا يَوْمَ وِرْدِهَا)) قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ ((فَاعْمَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبِحَارِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَنْ يَتْرُكَ مِنْ عَمَلِكَ شَيْئًا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about migration (hijrah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You would be ruined, for it is a very difficult matter. Well, do you have camels? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you give their zakat? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you give gifts from them? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: On the day of watering, do you milk them and give it to people? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then surely, even if you continue to act across the seas, Allah will not diminish anything from your deeds.
