Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 5753 — What has been reported regarding keeping
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرَ مَالِ الرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ غَنَمًا يَتْبَعُ بِهَا شَعَفَ الْجِبَالِ وَمَوَاقِعَ الْقَطْرِ يَفِرُّ بِدِينِهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It may be that the best wealth for a Muslim man is sheep, which he takes to the tops of mountains and the valleys where rain falls, fleeing with his religion from tribulations.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In times of tribulation, it is recommended (mustahabb) for the safety of one’s religion to withdraw from populated areas, provided that one does not have the ability to confront the tribulations.
