  quote: If ye cannot serve me in one city or country, fly unto another...
  summary: A note explains that believers unable to serve God safely in one place
    may flee to another refuge. A saying attributed to Mohammed states that one who
    flees for religion, even a short distance, merits paradise and companionship with
    Abraham and Mohammed. A separate note refers to good or bad use of riches, with
    citation to Al Beidwi.
