What It Means: Reading in Context
This is the first statement of a narration in the Book of Belief. The next statement describes the emigrant in terms of leaving what Allah has forbidden. It is not included on this card. The excerpt is a reminder about conduct, not an invitation to use a short quotation to decide another person’s religious status. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 10. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
