Hadith: Worship at times of chaos is like emigration to me
عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:
«الْعِبَادَةُ فِي الْهَرْجِ كَهِجْرَةٍ إِلَيَّ».
[صحيح] - [رواه مسلم] - [صحيح مسلم: 2948]

Ma‘qil ibn Yasār (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Worship at times of chaos is like emigration to me."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Muslim] - [Sahih Muslim - 2948]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) guided to worship and adherence to it during times of chaos, killing, and turmoil. He clarified that the reward for such worship is like that of emigration to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), as people are often heedless of worship and distracted from it, and only a few dedicate themselves to it.
