وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : وَيْحَكَ ، إِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ شَأْنُهَا شَدِيدٌ ، فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَتُعْطِي صَدَقَتَهَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَهَلْ تَمْنَحُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَتَحْلُبُهَا يَوْمَ وِرْدِهَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَاعْمَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبِحَارِ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَنْ يَتِرَكَ مِنْ عَمَلِكَ شَيْئًا " .
Narrated Abu Sa`id: A bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him about emigration. The Prophet said to him, "May Allah be merciful to you. The matter of emigration is difficult. Have you got some camels?" He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet asked him, "Do you pay their Zakat?" He replied in the affirmative. He asked, "Do you lend them so that their milk may be utilized by others?" The bedouin said, "Yes." The Prophet asked, "Do you milk them on the day off watering them?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Do good deeds beyond the merchants (or the sea) and Allah will never disregard any of your deeds." (See Hadith No. 260, Vol. 5)

Hadith Commentary:
A Bedouin wished to leave his homeland and reside in Madinah like the other Muhajirun. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) knew that he would not be able to fulfill the requirements of hijrah.
Therefore, he said: Remain in your homeland and continue performing righteous deeds; that is sufficient.
This incident occurred after the conquest of Makkah, when hijrah was no longer obligatory.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Among the Arabs, there are two types of "manihah": one is that a person gives something to someone as a gift, and it becomes his property. The second is that someone gives a goat or a she-camel to another person solely for the purpose of benefiting from its milk. The recipient may use its wool and milk for a certain period, and then return the animal to its original owner.
(2)
This hadith refers to the latter type of manihah and its virtue. Thus, when a Bedouin wished to leave his homeland and reside in Madinah Tayyibah like the other Muhajirun, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stopped him, because he realized that the Bedouin would not be able to endure the hardships of migration. Therefore, he said: "Remain in your home and continue to do good deeds; that is sufficient for you." It appears that this incident took place after the conquest of Makkah, when the obligation of migration from Makkah to Madinah had ended. And Allah knows best.
