Reports on Hijrah

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reports concerning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): When this verse was revealed: "When the help of Allah and the victory come," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited it and recited the whole surah, then he said: "The other people are in one place, and I and my Companions are in one place." He also said: "There is no emigration (hijrah) after the Conquest, but there remain jihad and intention." (The narrator says:) Marwan said to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): "You are lying." At that time Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) were with Marwan, sitting with him on the couch. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If these two wished, they too could narrate this hadith to you; but this one fears that you will remove him from the post of chief ('arif) of his people, and this other one fears that you will remove him from collecting the charity (sadaqah)." These two remained silent. Marwan raised his whip to strike Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). When the two of them saw this, they both said: "He is telling the truth."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in a greatly abridged form. The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.

It is reported about Sayyiduna Mujashi' bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his nephew, so that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would take his pledge of allegiance for emigration (hijrah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather, his pledge will be taken for Islam, for there is no emigration after the Conquest, and he will be among those who follow in excellence (ihsan)." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is mentioned in the Sahih, but without these words: "He will be among those who follow in excellence."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Yahya bin Ishaq, who is thiqah (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Ghaziyyah bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some young men of Quraysh intended to emigrate to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but their fathers forbade them from doing so. They mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no emigration (hijrah) after the Conquest; it is now only jihad and intention."

In one narration the words are: It is reported from Sayyiduna Ghaziyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There is no emigration (hijrah) after the Conquest; it is these three things: jihad, intention and the gathering (al-hashr)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, all of it, through various chains, one of which has narrators who are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna al-Harith bin Ghaziyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the day of the Conquest of Makkah: "There is no emigration (hijrah) after the Conquest; now there are faith, intention and the gathering (al-hashr)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Ishaq bin Ubaydullah bin Abi Farwah, who is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Ibn al-Sa'di (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Emigration (hijrah) will not come to an end as long as fighting with the enemy continues." Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Emigration is of two kinds: one kind is to dissociate oneself from evil deeds, and the other is to emigrate to Allah and His Messenger. Emigration will not come to an end as long as repentance continues to be accepted, and repentance will continue to be accepted until the sun rises from the west. When it (the sun) rises (from the west), every heart will be sealed with whatever state is in it, and people will be relieved of (the need for) deeds." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Imam Abu Dawud and Imam al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on them) recorded part of the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him).
Ahmad recorded it. Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Saghir, without mentioning the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Ibn al-Sa'di (may Allah be pleased with him). Al-Bazzar recorded the hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf and Sayyiduna Ibn al-Sa'di (may Allah be pleased with him). The narrators of Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Junadah bin Abi Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Emigration (hijrah) has come to an end." The people differed among themselves about this. I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! People are saying that emigration has come to an end?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As long as there is jihad, emigration will not come to an end."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Sa'di (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Malik bin Hanbal, narrates that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) along with some of his companions. The people said to him: "Guard our mounts, and then you can come in." He was the youngest of them. He took care of all their needs, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Come in." So he came in. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What do you need?" He said: "What I need is that you tell me: has emigration (hijrah) come to an end?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What you need is better than what they needed. Emigration will not come to an end as long as fighting with the enemy continues." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Imam al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded this narration in an abridged form.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Raja' bin Haywah reports from his father, from the messenger who asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about emigration (hijrah), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will not come to an end as long as fighting with the enemy continues."
Ahmad recorded it. I do not know the narrator named Haywah, and the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Emigration (hijrah) will not come to an end as long as fighting with the disbelievers continues."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains Yazid bin Rabi'ah al-Rahabi, who is da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There will surely be emigration after emigration, towards the place to which your forefather Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) emigrated, until none remain on the earth except its worst people. Their land will cast them out, the Spirit of the Most Merciful will regard them as vile, and the Fire will gather them together with the apes and the swine. Wherever they stop, the Fire will stop; wherever they spend the night, the Fire will spend the night with them; and whoever of them falls into the Fire will belong to it."
Ahmad mentioned it within a long hadith about fighting the rebels; its chain contains Abu Janab al-Kalbi, who is da'if (weak). (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadiths about emigrating to Abyssinia and to Madinah will come later in the section on the Military Expeditions (al-Maghazi), if Allah wills.
