Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُحْشَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَلَا التَّفَحُّشَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا وَبِالْبُخْلِ فَبَخِلُوا وَبِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ أَنْ يَسْلَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِكَ وَيَدِكَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَوْ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ أَنْ تَهْجُرَ مَا كَرِهَ اللَّهُ وَالْهِجْرَةُ هِجْرَتَانِ هِجْرَةُ الْحَاضِرِ وَالْبَادِي فَأَمَّا الْبَادِي فَيُطِيعُ إِذَا أُمِرَ وَيُجِيبُ إِذَا دُعِيَ وَأَمَّا الْحَاضِرُ فَأَعْظَمُهُمَا بَلِيَّةً وَأَعْظَمُهُمَا أَجْرًا.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated from Amr ibn Murrah from Abdullah ibn al-Harith from Abu Kathir from Abdullah ibn Amr from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said: "Beware of injustice, for injustice will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection. Beware of obscenity, for Allah does not love obscenity or indecency. Beware of miserliness, for it destroyed those before you - it commanded them to sever ties and they severed ties, it commanded them to be stingy and they were stingy, and it commanded them to be immoral and they were immoral." A man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which Islam is best?" He said: "That the Muslims are safe from your tongue and your hand." That man or another said: "O Messenger of Allah, which hijrah (emigration) is best?" He said: "That you abandon what Allah dislikes. Hijrah is of two types: the hijrah of the settled and of the Bedouin. As for the Bedouin, he obeys when commanded and responds when called. As for the settled, it is the more severe in trial and the greater in reward."
