جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْهِجْرَةِ، فَقَالَ " وَيْحَكَ إِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ شَأْنُهَا شَدِيدٌ فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ " قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " فَتُعْطِي صَدَقَتَهَا ". قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " فَهَلْ تَمْنَحُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ". قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " فَتَحْلُبُهَا يَوْمَ وِرْدِهَا ". قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " فَاعْمَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبِحَارِ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَنْ يَتِرَكَ مِنْ عَمَلِكَ شَيْئًا ".
