The Meaning of the Hadith: There Is No Hijrah After the Conquest

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

There is no migration after the Conquest (of Mecca), but Jihad and sincere intention.

لا هجرة بعد الفتح، ولكن جهاد ونية

. He says: Does that mean that the hijrah has ceased?

Answer:
No, in the hadith it is said:

Migration will not end until repentance ends, and repentance will not end until the sun rises in the west.

لا تنقطع الهجرة حتى تنقطع التوبة، ولا تنقطع التوبة حتى تخرج الشمس من مغربها

. So the hijrah continues from the lands of disbelief to the lands of Islam. As for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):

Narrated Mujahid bin Jabir Al-Makki: `Abdullah bin `Umar used to say, "There is no more Hijrah (i.e. migration) after the Conquest of Mecca."

لا هجرة بعد الفتح
