Abu Hind Bajali, who was among the righteous predecessors, said that people mentioned migration (hijrah) in the presence of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was on his royal throne. He said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Migration will not cease until repentance ceases," three times the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this: "And repentance will not cease until the sun rises from the west." (That is, until the Day of Judgment arrives.)
