The Importance of Righteous Deeds

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised a Bedouin to do righteous deeds no matter how far away he is from the Muslims, as Allah will never cause any of his deeds to be lost.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed that: a Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allah about emigration (Hijrah). He said: "Woe to you, emigration is very important. Do you have any camels?" He said: "Yes. He said: "Do you pay Sadaqah on them?" He said: "Yes". He said: "Do righteous deeds no matter how far away you are from the Muslims, for Allah, the Mighty and sublime, will never cause any of your deeds to be lost".
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ وَيْحَكَ إِنَّ شَأْنَ الْهِجْرَةِ شَدِيدٌ فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَهَلْ تُؤَدِّي صَدَقَتَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَاعْمَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبِحَارِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَنْ يَتِرَكَ مِنْ عَمَلِكَ شَيْئًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of doing righteous deeds no matter where one is located. It was narrated by Abu Sa'eed that a Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allah about emigration and he replied that it was very important. He then asked if the Bedouin had any camels and when he said yes, he asked if he paid Sadaqah on them. When the Bedouin said yes again, the Prophet Muhammad advised him to do righteous deeds no matter how far away from other Muslims he may be because Allah will never cause any of his good deeds to be lost. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to do good even when we are not surrounded by other believers because our actions are still being recorded by God and will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.
