Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: There are two types of migration. The migration of a villager is this: when he is called, he comes, and when he is commanded, he obeys. As for the migration of a city dweller, in terms of trial it is more severe, and its reward is also greater.

Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Munyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) along with my father. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Please take the pledge of migration from my father. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (No), rather I will take the pledge of jihad from him because migration has ended.
