حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ:، كُنْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ بِالْكُوفَةِ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرَ لِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ يُحَدِّثُهُ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالُوا: عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَكَانَ غَائِبًا، قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ:، ، سَمِعْتُ أُسَامَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ رِجْسٌ وَعَذَابٌ، أَوْ بَقِيَّةُ عَذَابٍ، حَبِيبٌ يَشُكُّ فِيهِ، عُذِّبَ بِهِ نَاسٌ قَبْلَكُمْ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا، فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ فِي أَرْضٍ، فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا " قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ أُسَامَةَ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا، فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

Aamir bin Sa’d (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man came to Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask about the plague. Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I will tell you about it. I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: The plague is a punishment which Allah the Exalted sent upon the people before you (the Children of Israel). Sometimes it comes and sometimes it goes. Therefore, if an epidemic spreads in a region, do not go to that region, and if an epidemic spreads in a region where you are already present, do not flee from it.”
