حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي مُجَاشِعُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ السُّلَمِيُّ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَ " إِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ قَدْ مَضَتْ لأَهْلِهَا وَلَكِنْ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ وَالْجِهَادِ وَالْخَيْرِ " .
Mujashi' b. Mas'ud as-Sulami Narrated from:
I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) to offer him my pledge of migration. He said: The period of migration has expired (and those who were to get the reward for this great act of devotion have got it). You may now give your pledge to serve the cause of Islam, to strive in the way of Allah and to follow the path of virtue.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1863a
This Hadith is about Hijra and what remained after its special time had passed. Mujashi' b. Mas'ud came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and wanted to offer a pledge of migration. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told him that the period of migration had already passed for its people. Then he guided him to pledge on Islam, Jihad, and good. For people searching for no hijra after conquest hadith or hadith about Hijra, this narration gives a clear message from the text: when one form of devotion was no longer open in that same way, other doors of service remained. The Hadith does not reduce the value of faith or good deeds. It points the person toward Islam, striving in Allah’s way, and the path of virtue.
What we learn from this hadith
- The special pledge of Hijra had passed for those who had already done it.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم directed the pledge toward Islam, Jihad, and good.
- When one act is not available, a person can still commit to other good actions.
