«مَنْ فَرَّ بِدِينِهِ مِنْ ارْضٍ الى ارْضٍ وَ انْ كانَ شِبْراً مِنَ الْارْضِ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ كانَ رَفِيقَ ابْراهِيمَ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ» ..
Whoso emigrates for his religion from a territory to anotherter ritory, although it may be as much as one palm of land, deserves paradise and will be companion of Abraham and Mohammad( two great emigrant prophets ).. [١]
Emphasis is indicated by the phrase" although it may be asmuch as one palm of land", and friendship and companionship with these two great prophets is for their emigration. Abraham A. S. departed from Babylon, the center of idolaters and Nimrod, to Syria and Palestine, and Islam's Prophet from Mecca to Medina.
In Ali Ebne Abraham interpretation, under the verse.
يا عِبادِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا انَّ ارْضِي واسِعَةٌ فَايّايَ فَاعْبُدُونِ ..
O My servants who believe, surely My earth is wide; thereforeMe do you serve!
[٢]it is narrated from Imam Bagher A .S .: «لا تُطِيعُوا اهْلَ الْفِسْقِ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ فَانْ خِفْتُمُوهُمْ انْ يَفْتِنُوكُمْ عَنْ دِينِكُمْ فَانَّ ارْضِي واسِعَةٌ» ..
Do not follow sinful rulers and if you fear of being deviatedfrom your pure religion( do emigrate )because My earth is wide.. [٣]
Not participating in sin and vice meetings, which ismentioned in Islamic ordinances, and non- privacy with strangers and such like are all considered as a sort of short term emigration from sin and mistake and risk area, and surely it is for preventing transmission of moral vices and not being tainted with sin.
