حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُجَاشِعٌ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَخِي بَعْدَ الْفَتْحِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، جِئْتُكَ بِأَخِي لِتُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ. قَالَ " ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الْهِجْرَةِ بِمَا فِيهَا ". فَقُلْتُ عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ تُبَايِعُهُ قَالَ " أُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالْجِهَادِ" فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ بَعْدُ وَكَانَ أَكْبَرَهُمَا فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ مُجَاشِعٌ.
Mujashi Narrated from:
I took my brother to the Prophet (ﷺ) after the Conquest (of Mecca) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have come to you with my brother so that you may take a pledge of allegiance from him for migration." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, The people of migration (i.e. those who migrated to Medina before the Conquest) enjoyed the privileges of migration (i.e. there is no need for migration anymore)." I said to the Prophet, "For what will you take his pledge of allegiance?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I will take his pledge of allegiance for Islam, Belief, and for Jihad (i.e. fighting in Allah's Cause).

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4305
This Hadith explains a change after the Conquest of Makkah. Majashi brought his brother to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and asked that he be given a pledge for migration. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم answered that the people of migration had already gained what belonged to that migration. When Majashi asked what pledge would be accepted instead, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said he would take the pledge for Islam, belief, and Jihad. The core topic is not a general discussion of travel, but this specific pledge after the Conquest. For readers searching no migration after the Conquest hadith, this report shows that the earlier migration held its own place, while commitment to Islam, Iman, and Jihad remained.
What we learn from this hadith
- The special pledge for migration had passed for those who already made it.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم accepted a pledge for Islam and belief.
- The Hadith also mentions Jihad as part of that pledge.
- The text shows that worshipful commitment remained after the Conquest.
