Musnad Ahmad Hadith 21551

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) began reciting this verse before me: "And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out" until he finished it. Then he said, "O Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), if all of humanity were to act upon this, this verse would suffice them as well." Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) repeated it before me so many times that I became drowsy under its effect. Then he said, "O Abu Dharr! When you are expelled from Madinah Munawwarah, what will you do?" I replied, "I will choose the way of accommodation and leave it, and go and become like a pigeon of the Haram of Makkah." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied, "Even then, I will choose the way of accommodation and leave it, and go to Shaam and the Holy Land." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you are expelled from Shaam as well, what will you do?" I replied, "Then, by the One Who sent you with the truth, I will place my sword on my shoulder." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Shall I not tell you a better way than this?" I replied, "Is there a way better than this?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Listen and obey, even if your ruler is an Abyssinian slave."
