On the authority of Sa’ēd ibn Jubair raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu, that a man from the tribe of Khuzā’ah was in Makkah and he fell ill therein; this man was Ḍhamrah ibn A

﴿...وَمَنْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُه على الله﴾ “Those who leave their homes and die while emigrating to Allāh and His Messenger—their reward has already been secured with Allāh...” [Sūrah An-Nisā': 100] Ibn Baṭṭāl said: «وفيه دليل أن مَن شرَع في عمل من عمل الطاعات، وصحَّت فيه نيَّته لله، وحال بينه وبين تمامه الموت؛ فإن الرجاء قوي أن الله قد كتَبه في الآخرة من أهل ذلك العمل، وتقبَّله منه» “In this is evidence that whoever embarks on an act of obedience, and his intention for undertaking that act is correct - purely for Allāh, but death prevents him from completing it; there is strong hope that Allāh has recorded/included him in the Hereafter from the people of that deed and He has accepted it from him.” Please take a moment to reflect over this ḥadīth: https://sunnah.com/riyadussalihin:20 5⃣- Hijrah is a means for one's previous sins to be forgiven: ’Amr ibn Al-’Āṣ raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu said: I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “Stretch out your right hand so I can pledge allegiance to you.” He stretched out his right hand, but I clenched my hand and he said, “What is the matter with you, ‘Amr?” I replied, “I want to make a condition.” He asked, “What condition do you want to make?” I replied, “That I should receive forgiveness.” He said, “Do you not know O 'Amr that Islām demolishes what preceded it, that Hijrah demolishes what preceded it, and that Ḥajj demolishes what preceded it?” [Muslim] This includes minor, as well as major sins, as is indicated by the following ḥadīth: It is narrated on the authority of Jābir that Ṭufail ibn ’Amr Ad-Dawsi came to the Messenger (ﷺ) and said: “Do you need strong, fortified protection?” The tribe of Daws had a fort in the pre-Islamic days. The Messenger (ﷺ) declined this offer, since it (the privilege of protecting the Prophet ﷺ) had already been reserved for the Anṣār. When the Messenger (ﷺ) made Hijrah to Madīnah, Ṭufail ibn ’Amr also made Hijrah to that place, and a man of his tribe also made Hijrah along with him. But the climate of Madīnah did not suit him and he fell sick. He felt very uneasy so he took hold of an iron head of an arrow and cut his finger-joints. The blood streamed forth from his hands, till he died. Ṭufail ibn ’Amr saw him in a dream. His state was good and he saw him with his hands wrapped. He (Ṭufail) said to him: “What did your Lord do with you?” He replied. “Allāh granted me pardoned me due to my Hijrah to the Messenger (ﷺ).” He (Ṭufail) asked: “What is this that I see you wrapping up your hands?” He replied: “I was told (by Allāh): We would not set right anything of yours which you damaged yourself.” Ṭufail narrated this (dream) to the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ). Upon this he prayed: “O Allāh I grant pardon even to his hands.” [Muslim] 6⃣- The Muhājir is given precedence in leading the prayer if they are equal in terms of the Qur'ān & Sunnah: The Prophet ﷺ said: “The one who is well grounded in Allāh's Book and is distinguished among them in recitation should act as Imām for the people. If they are equally versed in reciting it, then the one who has most knowledge regarding the Sunnah. If they are equal regarding the Sunnah, then the earliest one to make Hijrah. If they made Hijrah at the same time, then the oldest one in age. No man must lead another in prayer in latter's house or where (the latter) has authority, or sit in his place of honour in his house, except that he gives you permission or with his permission.” [Muslim] 7⃣- There is no deed like Hijrah:
