Sahih al-Bukhari 1875 (Book 29, Hadith 9) #1798
Migration from Medina

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warning people that they should not migrate from Medina to Yemen, Sham, and Iraq even though those places will be conquered because Medina is better for them.

Narrated Sufyan b. Abu Zuhair: I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ saying, "Yemen will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families, and those who will obey them to migrate (to Yemen) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. Sham will also be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them, to migrate (to Sham) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew'.Iraq will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them to migrate (to 'Iraq) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ تُفْتَحُ الْيَمَنُ فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يُبِسُّونَ، فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ، وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ، وَتُفْتَحُ الشَّأْمُ، فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يُبِسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ، وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ، وَتُفْتَحُ الْعِرَاقُ، فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يُبِسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ‏.‏ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith narrated by Sufyan b. Abu Zuhair, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned people against migrating from Medina to Yemen, Sham and Iraq even though those places will be conquered in the future. He said that although these places may seem attractive due to their conquest but it would still be better for them if they stayed in Medina as it was a blessed place for Muslims. The main values taught in this hadith are patience and faith in Allah's plan as well as obedience towards one's parents or elders who may urge them to migrate elsewhere despite knowing that staying put would be better for them. It also teaches us that we should always trust Allah's plan and have faith that whatever He has planned is best for us even if we don't understand it at first glance.
