[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the plague and said, "It is a punishment from your enemies among the jinn, and a testimony for the Muslim."  

أحمد:١٩٧٠٨حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَلْجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ذَكَرَ الطَّاعُونَ فَقَالَ وَخْزٌ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَهِيَ شَهَادَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ
