Being expelled from one’s homeland is indicative of being saved from distress, because Allah says:
“Drive out the family of Loot (Lot) from your city. Verily, these are men who want to be clean and pure
This is good for the one who is going through distress, but if hewas not going through distress, it is indicative of trouble and separation from loved ones. How could it be otherwise, when Allah mentioned together expulsion from one’s homeland and killing, as He said:
And if We had ordered them (saying), ‘Kill yourselves (i.e.the innocent ones kill the guilty ones) or leave your homes,’ very few of them would have done it; but if they had done what they were told, it would have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith).
