[Machine] We were waiting at Uthman's door for permission. Then I heard Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The destruction of my Ummah is by the plundering and epidemic." We asked, "O Messenger of Allah, we know what plundering is, but what is the epidemic?" He said, "It is the enemy's stabbing among you by the jinn in each testimony." Ziyad said: I did not understand his statement, so I asked the leader of the living (i.e., Uthman) who was with them. He replied, "He spoke the truth, Abu Musa informed us of that."  

كُنَّا عَلَى بَابِ عُثْمَانَ نَنْتَظِرُ الْإِذْنَ عَلَيْهِ فَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَاءُ أُمَّتِي بِالطَّعْنِ وَالطَّاعُونِ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا الطَّعْنُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا الطَّاعُونُ؟ قَالَ طَعْنُ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فِي كُلٍّ شَهَادَةٌ قَالَ زِيَادٌ فَلَمْ أَرْضَ بِقَوْلِهِ فَسَأَلْتُ سَيِّدَ الْحَيِّ وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو مُوسَى
