1787 - وُجوبُ الهِجرَةِ عَن بِلادِ أهلِ المَعاصي
1787. THE NECESSITY OF MIGRATING FROM PLACES [POPULATED WITH] SINNERS
(إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا فِيمَ كُنْتُمْ قَالُوا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالُوا أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا فِيهَا فَأُولئِكَ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيراً) .1
"Indeed, those whom the angels take away while they are wronging themselves, they ask, "What state were you in?" They reply, 'We were abased in the land.' They say, 'Was not Allah's earth vast enough so that you might migrate in it?' The refuge of such shall be hell, and it is an evil destination." 2
(يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ أَرْضِي وَاسِعَةٌ فَإِيَّايَ فَاعْبُدُونِ) .3
"O My servants who have faith! My earth is indeed vast. So worship [only] Me." 4
6337.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - في قولِهِ تعالى : (يا عِباديَ الّذِينَ آمَنوا إنَّ اَرضي ...) - : إذا عُصِيَ اللَّهُ في أرضٍ أنتَ فيها فاخرُجْ مِنها إلى غَيرِها .5
6337. Imam al-Sadiq (AS), with regard to Allah's verse in the Qur'an: "O My servants who have faith! My earth is indeed vast. So worship [only] Me", said, 'When Allah is disobeyed in a place that you are in, leave it and go somewhere else.' 6
6338.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن فَرَّ بدِينِهِ مِن أرضٍ إلى أرضٍ وإن كانَ شِبراً مِن الأرضِ ، استَوجَبَ الجَنّةَ وكانَ رَفيقَ إبراهيمَ ومحمّدٍ .7
6338.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Whoever flees with their religion from one place to another, even if it was the distance of a hand's span of the earth, Heaven becomes obligatory for him and he will be in the company of Abraham and Muhammad (AS).' 8
