[Machine] Mu'adhah bint Abdullah al-'Adawiyyah narrated to us that she said, "I entered upon A'ishah and she said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "My nation will not perish except due to stabbing and the plague." I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we know what stabbing is, but what is the plague?' He said, 'It is a gland like the gland of a camel, and the one who stays with it is like the martyr, and the one who flees from it is like the one who flees from battle."' "
