[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."' "  

أحمد:٢٥١١٨ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَعَفَّانُ الْمَعْنَى وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ لَمْ يَخْتَلِفُوا فِي الْإِسْنَادِ وَالْمَعْنَى قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ الْعَدَوِيُّ قَالَ

حَدَّثَتْنَا مُعَاذَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَدَوِيَّةُ قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَفْنَى أُمَّتِي إِلَّا بِالطَّعْنِ وَالطَّاعُونِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا الطَّعْنُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا الطَّاعُونُ؟ قَالَ غُدَّةٌ كَغُدَّةِ الْبَعِيرِ الْمُقِيمُ بِهَا كَالشَّهِيدِ وَالْفَارُّ مِنْهَا كَالْفَارِّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The destruction of my Ummah is through stabbing and plague." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, we know what stabbing is, but what is plague?" He said, "It is a gland disease like a gland of a camel, in which the infected person remains stationary like a martyr, while the one who escapes it is like the one who avoids crawling insects."
