حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ أَبُو نُصَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَسِيبٍ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ بِالْحُمَّى، وَالطَّاعُونِ، فَأَمْسَكْتُ الْحُمَّى بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ الطَّاعُونَ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ لِأُمَّتِي، وَرَحْمَةٌ، وَرِجْسٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِ (١) " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Usaib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: After me, Jibreel came bringing fever and plague. I kept the fever confined to Madinah itself and sent the plague towards Shaam (Syria). Now, for my Ummah, the plague is martyrdom and mercy, whereas for the disbelievers it is a punishment.
