[Machine] I arrived at the city and we were told that the plague had occurred in Kufa. I asked, "Who narrated this hadith?" It was said, "Aamir ibn Saad." I then said, "But he was absent." I met Ibrahim ibn Saad and he told me that he had heard Osama ibn Zaid narrating to Saad that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a plague breaks out in a land, do not enter it. And if it breaks out while you are in it, do not leave it." I asked, "Did you hear from Osama?" He replied, "Yes."
