ʿUmar went to Sham and when he reached Sargh, he got the news that an epidemic (of plague) had broken out in Sham. ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf told him that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you hear that it (plague) has broken out in a land, do not go to it; but if it breaks out in a land where you are present, do not go out escaping from it."  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِسَرْغَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّأْمِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ  

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab left for Sham, and when he reached a placed called Sargh, he came to know that there was an outbreak of an epidemic (of plague) in Sham. Then ʿAbdurRahman bin ʿAuf told him that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you hear the news of an outbreak of an epidemic (plague) in a certain place, do not enter that place: and if the epidemic falls in a place while you are present in it, do not leave that place to escape from the epidemic." So ʿUmar returned from Sargh.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ مِنْ سَرْغَ وَعَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ إِنَّمَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ  

That 'Abd al-Rahman b.'Awf said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When you hear that it is breaking out in a certain territory, do not go there. If it breaks out in the territory you are in, do not go out fleeing away from it. By "it" he referred to the plague.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تُقْدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ يَعْنِي الطَّاعُونَ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia that Umar ibn al-Khattab went out to ash-Sham. When he came to Sargh, near Tabuk, he heard that the plague had broken out in ash-Sham. Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you hear that a land has a plague in it, do not go forward to it. If it comes upon a land which you are in, do not depart in flight from it." Umar ibn al- Khattab came back from Sargh.  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سَرْغَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الْوَبَأَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْ سَرْغَ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Indeed, this disease has been a punishment inflicted upon nations before you. So, if you hear of it being present in a land, do not enter upon it. And if it happens in a land where you reside, do not flee from it." Umar ibn Al-Khattab then returned from Sham.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا السَّقَمَ عُذِّبَ بِهِ الْأُمَمُ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ فِي أَرْضٍ فَلا تَدْخُلُوهَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنَ الشَّامِ  

That 'Abd al-Rahman b.'Awf said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When you hear that it is breaking out in a certain territory, do not go there. If it breaks out in the territory you are in, do not go out fleeing away from it. By "it" he referred to the plague. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3103)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ فِي أَرْضٍ فَلا تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ

If it breaks out in the territory you are in, do not go out fleeing away from it. By "it" he referred to the plague. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3103)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ وَلَسْتُمْ بِهَا فَلا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا وَقَعَ وَأَنْتُمْ فِيهَا فَلا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, this plague is a punishment or a remainder of punishment that afflicted a people before you. So, if it occurs in a land while you are in it, do not leave it running away from it. And if you hear about it in a land, do not enter it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّاعُونَ رِجْزٌ أَوْ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْ عَذَابٍ عُذِّبَ بِهِ قَوْمٌ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ فِي أَرْضٍ فَلا تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said regarding the Battle of Tabuk, "If a plague breaks out in a land where you are present, do not leave it. And if a plague breaks out in a land where you are not present, do not enter it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ إِذَا وَقَعَ الطَّاعُونُ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا وَإِذَا وَقَعَ وَلَسْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding the Battle of Tabuk: "If a plague breaks out in a land and you are in it, do not leave. And if it breaks out in a land and you are not in it, do not enter it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ إِذَا وَقَعَ الطَّاعُونُ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَلَسْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ  

That 'Abd al-Rahman b.'Awf said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When you hear that it is breaking out in a certain territory, do not go there. If it breaks out in the territory you are in, do not go out fleeing away from it. By "it" he referred to the plague. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3103)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِالطَّاعُونِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ وَأَنْتُمْ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The plague is a punishment or a torment with which a nation is afflicted. So, if it happens in a land while you are there, do not leave it. And if you hear of its occurrence in a land, do not enter it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الطَّاعُونُ رِجْزٌ أَوْ عَذَابٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ قَوْمٌ فَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Indeed, this pain is a punishment inflicted upon those who lived before you. So if it occurs in a place where you are not, do not go to it. And if it occurs in a place where you are, do not leave, fleeing from it." Then Umar ibn Al-Khattab returned to the people in that year.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ عَذَابٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ لَسْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَهْبِطُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ» فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ بِالنَّاسِ ذَلِكَ الْعَامَ  

What have you heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ about plague? Thereupon Usama said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Plague is a calamity which was sent to Bani Isra'il or upon those who were before you. So when you hear that it has broken out in a land, don't go to it, and when it has broken out in the land where you are, don't run out of it. In the narration transmitted on the authority of Abu Nadr there is a slight variation of wording. (Using translation from Muslim 2218a)   

سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الطَّاعُونِ؟ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الطَّاعُونُ رِجْزٌ أُرْسِلَ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ عَلَى مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَقْدُمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ»

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , he said: "If you hear of a plague in a land, do not enter it, and if a plague breaks out and you are in a land, do not leave it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ بِالطَّاعُونِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا وَقَعَ وَأَنْتُمُ بِأَرْضٍ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا»

ʿUmar went to Sham and when he reached Sargh, he got the news that an epidemic (of plague) had broken out in Sham. ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ʿAuf told him that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you hear that it (plague) has broken out in a land, do not go to it; but if it breaks out in a land where you are present, do not go out escaping from it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5730)   

أَنَّ عُمَرَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّامِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِسَرْغَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَقْدُمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ» فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ مِنْ سَرْغَ

"إذا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهَذَا الوَباءِ بِبلَدٍ فلا تَقْدُمُوا علَيه، وإذا وَقَع وأنتُمْ به فلا تَخْرَجُوا فِرارًا مِنْه".  

"إِنَّ هذا السَّقَمَ عُذِّب به الأُممُ قبلكم، فإِذا سمعتم به في أَرضٍ فلا تدخلوها، وإِذا وقع بأَرضٍ وأَنتم بها فلا تخرجوا فِرارًا منه".
