I said: In this ḥadīth, there are some rulings related to inviting disbelievers to Islam, including: that they are granted safety if they fulfill what Allāh has imposed upon them, and that they should separate from the polytheists and migrate to the lands of the Muslims. There are many ḥadīths on this matter, all of which encourage those who embrace Islam to separate, as in the saying of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "I am free from every Muslim who resides among the polytheists; their fires should not be visible to each other," and in some, the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) stipulated in the pledge that they separate from the polytheist.

I attribute this to two reasons: First, their pursuit of worldly life and the availability of means of living and luxury in their countries, as they live an enjoyable material life devoid of spirit, as is well known, making it difficult for them to usually move to an Islamic country where, in their view, the means of a dignified life may not be available.
