Masʾalah fī al-Murābaṭah wa-al-MujāwarahIbn Taimiya

Among the supporting texts for the recommendation to live there:

  1. They argue: Since it is the most beloved land to Allah and to His Messenger, and had it not been obligatory for him to perform the hijra (emigration) he would have lived nowhere else, it follows that residing there is superior—so long as no overriding benefit requires otherwise, as was the case for the Prophet ﷺ and the Emigrants. Their stay in Medina was better than remaining in Mecca because of the duties of hijra and jihad; indeed, that was incumbent upon them, and residing in Mecca was forbidden to them even after the Conquest. The Emigrant was only granted permission to stay there for three days.

  2. As related in the two Ṣaḥīḥs¹ from al-ʿAlāʾ ibn al-Ḥaḍramī: the Prophet ﷺ allowed the Emigrant to remain in Mecca, after completing his rites, for three days.

  3. The Emigrants themselves disliked settling in a land from which they had emigrated and abandoned², for they had left it solely for the sake of Allah.

(1) Al-Bukhari, no. 3933; Muslim, no. 1352 (442) — the wording follows Muslim. Benefit: Qadi Iyad said: “This hadith constitutes evidence for those who hold that any muhajir (early emigrant) who left Mecca before the Conquest was prohibited from settling there after the Conquest. This is the position of the majority. A group, however, allowed them to reside in Mecca once the Conquest had occurred, while all agree that before the Conquest emigration was obligatory for them, as was residence in Madinah, so that they might support the Prophet ﷺ with their own persons. As for anyone who was not among the original muhajirun or who embraced Islam later, he may reside in whatever land he wishes, Mecca or otherwise, by unanimous agreement.” See: al-Nawawi, Commentary on Muslim, 9/122-123. (2) The words enclosed in square brackets are not in the original manuscript; I have added them, based on the author’s discussion, to ensure the passage reads coherently.
ومن الأدلة على استحباب المجاورة ٣١- قالوا: فإذا كانت أحب البلاد إلى الله ورسوله ولولا ما وجب عليه من الهجرة لما كان يسكن إلا إياها، علم أن المقام بها أفضل إذا لم يعارض ذلك مصلحة راجحة كما كان في حق النبي ﷺ والمهاجرين؛ فإن مقامهم بالمدينة كان أفضل من مقامهم بمكة لأجل الهجرة والجهاد بل ذلك كان واجب عليهم، وكان مقامهم بمكة حراما حتى بعد الفتح، وإنما رخص للمهاجر أن يقيم فيها ثلاثا. ٣٢- كما في "الصحيحين"١ عن العلاء بن الحضرمي أن النبي ﷺ أرخص للمهاجر أن يقيم بمكة بعد قضاء نسكه ثلاثا. ٣٣- وكان المهاجرون يكرهون أن يكونوا [مقيمين بدار، هاجروا منها وتركوها] ٢؛ لكونهم هاجروا عنها، وتركوها لله.
١ البخاري (٣٩٣٣) ومسلم (١٣٥٢) (٤٤٢) واللفظ له. فائدة: "قال القاضي عياض ﵀: في هذا الحديث حجة لمن منع المهاجر قبل الفتح من المقام بمكة بعد الفتح، قال: وهو قول الجمهور، وأجاز لهم جماعة بعد الفتح مع الاتفاق على وجوب الهجرة عليهم قبل الفتح ووجوب سكنى المدينة؛ لنصرة النبي ﷺ ومواساتهم له بأنفسهم، وأما غير المهاجر ومن آمن بعد ذلك: فيجوز سكنى له أي بلد أراد، سواء مكة وغيرها بالاتفاق" "شرح النووي لمسلم" (٩/١٢٢، ١٢٣) . ٢ ما بين المعقوفتين زيادة ليست في الأصل زدتها بالاستفادة من كلام المصنف، ليستقيم بها السياق.
