The Meaning of the Hadith: Worship in the Time of Turmoil Is Like Hijrah to Me

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
Worship during the time of bloodshed is like emigrating to me.العبادة في الهرج كهجرة إلي
Sunan Ibn Majah 3985Sahih (Darussalam)
. What is the explanation of this hadith and its meaning?

Answer:
Al-Harj means the time of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and killing. So a person should refrain from getting involved in fitnah and devote himself to worshipping Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Al-Hijrah means leaving. Hijrah may be with the body or with the heart. So hijrah from bid'ah (religious innovation) to the Sunnah is a hijrah of the heart.
