The answer

The answer is unclear, but if the first question is about the explanation of Al-Nawawi's Forty , it is available online. As for the second question regarding the types of (emigration), Ibn al-Arabi al-Maliki attributed to scholars its division into hijrat talab (emigration for seeking something) and hijrat harab (emigration for fleeing something). Al-Nawawi mentioned Ibn al-Arabi's statement, while Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar stated that hijrah in Islamic law is of two types: moving from a land of fear to a land of security, and hijrah from a land of disbelief to a land of faith. As for Ibn Daqeeq al-Eid, he divided hijrah into multiple categories, including the hijrah to Abyssinia, from Mecca to Medina, the hijrah of tribes, and the hijrah from what Allah has forbidden. Al-Iraqi added other categories to this. As for Ibn Uthaymeen, he divided hijrah into: hijrat al-makan (emigration of place, such as moving from a land of disbelief), hijrat al-amal (emigration of action, such as abandoning sins), and hijrat al-amil (emigration from the doer, such as shunning one who openly commits sins).
