Sunan Ibn Majah 2116 (Book 11, Hadith 27) #31468
No Hijrah After Acceptance of Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was asked to give a share of Hijrah to someone's father, but he said that there is no Hijrah since the people of the land had accepted Islam.

It was narrated from Mujahid, that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Safwan, or Safwan bin 'Abdur- Rahman Al-Qurashi said: "On the Day of the conquest of Makkah, he came with his father and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, give my father a share of Hijrah'. He said: 'There is no Hijrah'. Then he went away and entered upon 'Abbas and said: 'Do you know who I am?' He said: 'Yes'. Then 'Abbas went out, wearing a shirt and no upper wrap, and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you know so-and-so with whom we have friendly ties? He brought his father to swear an oath of allegiance (ie, promise) to emigrate'. The Prophet said: 'There is no Hijrah'." 'Abbas said: 'I adjure you to do it'. The Prophet stretched forth his hand and touched his hand, and said: 'I have fulfilled the oath of my uncle, but there is no Hijrah"'. (Da'if)Another chain with similar wording. Yazid bin Abu Ziyad said: "Meaning: There is no Hijrah from a land whose people have accepted Islam".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، أَوْ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيِّ، قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ جَاءَ بِأَبِيهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْ لأَبِي نَصِيبًا فِي الْهِجْرَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ لاَ هِجْرَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَانْطَلَقَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى الْعَبَّاسِ فَقَالَ قَدْ عَرَفْتَنِي فَقَالَ أَجَلْ ‏.‏ فَخَرَجَ الْعَبَّاسُ فِي قَمِيصٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ فُلاَنًا وَالَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ جَاءَ بِأَبِيهِ لِيُبَايِعَكَ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ لاَ هِجْرَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ ‏.‏ فَمَدَّ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ يَدَهُ فَمَسَّ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَبْرَرْتُ عَمِّي وَلاَ هِجْرَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ يَعْنِي لاَ هِجْرَةَ مِنْ دَارٍ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ أَهْلُهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the concept of hijrah and its relation to accepting Islam. It was narrated from Mujahid that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Safwan or Safwan bin 'Abdur- Rahman Al-Qurashi asked the Prophet for a share in hijrah for his father. However, the Prophet replied that there is no hijrah since people have already accepted Islam in this land. Then Abbas went out and asked him again and he stretched forth his hand and touched his hand saying "I have fulfilled the oath of my uncle". This hadith teaches us that when people accept Islam in a certain land then there is no need for them to migrate elsewhere as they are already considered Muslims living in an Islamic state. It also shows us how important it is to keep our promises even if it means going against our own desires or wishes as seen by how Abbas kept asking until he got what he wanted even though it meant going against what he originally wanted which was migration for his friend's father. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about loyalty towards family members as seen by how Abbas kept asking on behalf of his uncle's son despite knowing that it would go against what he wanted himself.
