حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَنَانُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَوِيٌّ جَرِيءٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ الْهِجْرَةِ إِلَيْكَ أَيْنَمَا كُنْتَ أَوْ لِقَوْمٍ خَاصَّةً أَمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مَعْلُومَةٍ أَمْ إِذَا مُتَّ انْقَطَعَتْ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ قَالَ هَا هُوَ ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْهِجْرَةُ أَنْ تَهْجُرَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ ثُمَّ أَنْتَ مُهَاجِرٌ وَإِنْ مُتَّ بِالْحَضَرِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi told us: Muhammad ibn Abi al-Waddah told us: al-Ala ibn Abdullah ibn Rafi' told me: Hanan ibn Kharijah told us, from Abdullah ibn Amr, who said: A bold Bedouin of the Alawi tribe came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, tell us about emigration to you - is it wherever you may be, or is it for a particular people, or to a specific land, or does it end when you die? He fell silent for a short while, then said: Where is the questioner? He said: Here I am, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Emigration is that you abandon indecent acts, whatever is apparent of them and whatever is concealed, and that you establish the prayer and give the zakat; then you are an emigrant even if you die in your own homeland.
