Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ وَيَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْمُكْتِبِ عَنْ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالظُّلْمِ فَظَلَمُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُحْشَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَلَا التَّفَحُّشَ قَالَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ قَالَ فَقَامَ هُوَ أَوْ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ مَنْ عَقَرَ جَوَادَهُ وَأُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ قَالَ أَبِي و قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ثُمَّ نَادَاهُ هَذَا أَوْ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ أَنْ تَهْجُرَ مَا كَرِهَ رَبُّكَ وَهُمَا هِجْرَتَانِ هِجْرَةٌ لِلْبَادِي وَهِجْرَةٌ لِلْحَاضِرِ فَأَمَّا هِجْرَةُ الْبَادِي فَيُطِيعُ إِذَا أُمِرَ وَيُجِيبُ إِذَا دُعِيَ وَأَمَّا هِجْرَةُ الْحَاضِرِ فَهِيَ أَشَدُّهُمَا بَلِيَّةً وَأَعْظَمُهُمَا أَجْرًا.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us: al-Mas'udi narrated, and Yazid said: al-Mas'udi informed us from Amr ibn Murrah from Abdullah ibn al-Harith al-Muktib from Abu Kathir al-Zubaydi from Abdullah ibn Amr who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Beware of miserliness, for it destroyed those before you - it commanded them to be unjust and they were unjust, it commanded them to sever ties and they severed ties, and it commanded them to be immoral and they were immoral. And beware of injustice, for injustice will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection. And beware of obscenity, for Allah does not love obscenity or indecency." A man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which Muslim is best?" He said: "The one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe." He or another man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which jihad is best?" He said: "The one whose horse is slain and whose blood is spilled." My father said: Yazid ibn Harun said in his narration: "Then this or another man called out and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, which hijrah (emigration) is best?' He said: 'That you abandon what your Lord dislikes. And there are two types of hijrah: hijrah for the Bedouin and hijrah for the settled. As for the hijrah of the Bedouin, he obeys when commanded and responds when called. As for the hijrah of the settled, it is the more severe in trial and greater in reward.'"
