Sahih al-Bukhari 3900 (Book 63, Hadith 125) #3728
Triumph of Islam and Rewarded Deeds

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that in the past, believers used to migrate to protect their religion from persecution, but now Islam is triumphant and believers can worship Allah wherever they like. The deeds that are still rewarded are Jihad and good intentions.

Narrated 'Ata bin Abi Rabah: 'Ubaid bin 'Umar Al-Laithi and I visited Aisha and asked her about the Hijra (ie migration), and she said, "Today there is no (Hijrah) emigration. A believer used to run away with his religion to Allah and His Apostle lest he should be put to trial because of his religion. Today Allah has made Islam triumphant, and today a believer can worship his Lord wherever he likes. But the deeds that are still rewardable (in place of emigration) are Jihad and good intentions". .
وَحَدَّثَنِي الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ زُرْتُ عَائِشَةَ مَعَ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ فَسَأَلْنَاهَا عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ، فَقَالَتْ لاَ هِجْرَةَ الْيَوْمَ، كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَفِرُّ أَحَدُهُمْ بِدِينِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُفْتَنَ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَقَدْ أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ الإِسْلاَمَ، وَالْيَوْمَ يَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ، وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith narrated by 'Ata bin Abi Rabah, it is explained that in the past when people were persecuted for their religion, they would migrate to protect their faith. However, today Allah has made Islam triumphant so believers can worship Him wherever they like without fear of persecution. The deeds which are still rewarded by Allah are Jihad and having good intentions. Jihad does not necessarily mean physical fighting; it could also mean striving for a better life or helping others in need. Having good intentions means having a sincere heart when doing something; even if the action itself is small or insignificant it will be rewarded if done with sincerity and purity of heart.
