It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Protect yourself from oppression, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection. Protect yourself from indecency, for Allah does not like any kind of indecency, whether openly or secretly. Also protect yourself from miserliness, for miserliness destroyed those before you. It was miserliness that led them to sever family ties, so they broke their relations. It was miserliness that commanded them to hoard their wealth and possessions, so they did so. It was miserliness that led them to sin, so they began to commit sins."

During this, a man stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which Muslim is the best?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe." Another man stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which jihad is the best?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one whose horse's legs are cut and his blood is shed." In the narration from Yazid's chain, there is this addition: Then another man called out and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which migration is the best?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That you leave those things which are disliked by your Lord. And migration is of two types: the migration of the city dweller and the migration of the villager. The migration of the villager is that when he is invited, he accepts, and when he is commanded, he obeys. The trial of the city dweller is greater, and his reward is also greater."
