[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A sick person should not enter upon a healthy person.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying : There is no infection, no evil, omen or serpent, in a hungry belly and no hamah. A nomadic Arab asked: How is it that when camels are in the sand as if they were gazelles and a mangy camel comes among them and it gives them mange ? He replied: Who infected the first one ? Ma'mar, quoting al-Zuhri said: A man told me that Abu Hurairah narrated to him saying that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: A diseased camel should not be brought with a healthy camel to drink water. He said: The man then consulted him and said: Did you not tell us that Prophet ﷺ had said: There is no infection, no serpent in a hungry belly and no hamah? He replied: I did not transmit it to you. Al-Zuhri said: Abu Salamah said: He had narrated it and I did not hear that Abu Hurairah had ever forgotten any tradition except this one. Note: The majority of scholars interpret this to mean that these things in and of themselves do not transmit or cause harm through supernatural or hidden means but that Allah is ultimately in control and any fearful superstition around these is false. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3911)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا صَفَرَ وَلَا هَامَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَمَا بَالُ الْإِبِلِ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ كَأَنَّهَا الظِّبَاءُ فَيُخَالِطُهَا الْبَعِيرُ الْأَجْرَبُ فَيُجْرِبُهَا؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الْأَوَّلَ؟ 14235 قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ قَالَ فَرَاجَعَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ حَدَّثْتَنَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا صَفَرَ وَلَا هَامَةَ ؟ قَالَ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكُمُوهُ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ لِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قَدْ حَدَّثَ بِهِ وَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ نَسِيَ حَدِيثًا غَيْرَهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There is no contagious disease." Abu Salama ibn Abdul Rahman said: I heard Abu Hurairah report that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The sick should not be taken to the healthy."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا عَدْوَى قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يُخْبِرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يُورِدُ الْمُمْرِضُ عَلَى الْمُصِحِّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no contagious disease." Then, a man from the Bedouins stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about camels that are in the desert, resembling deer, and then a pure camel comes and mixes with them all?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then who caused the first one to be infected?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا عَدْوَى فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ الْإِبِلَ تَكُونُ فِي الرِّمَالِ أَمْثَالَ الظِّبَاءِ فَيَأْتِيهَا الْبَعِيرُ الْأَجْرَبُ فَيُجْرِبُهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الْأَوَّلَ؟  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A sick person should not be brought to a healthy person." Al-Harith ibn Abi Dhubaab al-Dawsi said, "You used to tell us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There is no contagion.'" Abu Hurairah objected to that and said, "Yes, you used to inform us of that from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." They disputed until their argument became intense, and Abu Hurairah became angry. He then threw some Abyssinians onto them, and Abu Hurairah said to al-Harith ibn Abi Dhubaab, "Do you know what I said?" Al-Harith said, "No." Abu Hurairah said, "If I had said that, it would mean that I had not conveyed (the words of the Prophet) as you say." Abu Salamah ibn Abdurrahman then intervened and Abu Hurairah followed the one who informs us about the Prophet's saying, "A sick person should not be brought to a healthy person" and abandoned what he used to inform us about the Prophet's saying, "There is no contagion." Abu Salamah said, "I do not know if Abu Hurairah forgot what he used to inform us about the Prophet's saying, 'There is no contagion,' or if there is another reason, except that I did not inform him about it after he used to tell us about it from the Prophet, other than denying what he used to inform us about the Prophet's saying, 'There is no contagion.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يُورِدُ الْمُمْرِضُ عَلَى الْمُصِحِّ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ الدَّوْسِيُّ فَإِنَّكَ كُنْتَ تُحَدِّثُنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا عَدْوَى قَالَ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بَلَى قَدْ كُنْتَ تُخْبِرُنَا ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَمَارَى هُوَ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا اشْتَدَّ مِرَاؤُهُمَا فَغَضِبَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَرَطَنَ بِالْحَبَشِيَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَاذَا قُلْتُ؟ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ لَا فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِنْ قُلْتُ أَبَيْتُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُحَدِّثْ كَمَا تَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى الَّذِي يُخْبِرُنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِهِ لَا يُورِدُ الْمُمْرِضُ عَلَى الْمُصِحِّ وَتَرَكَ مَا كَانَ يُخْبِرُنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِهِ لَا عَدْوَى فَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَنَسِيَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مَا كَانَ يُخْبِرُنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَا عَدْوَى أَمْ مَا شَأْنُهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُبْلِ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةً نَسِيَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَاهَا مَرَّةً عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَيْرَ إِنْكَارِهِ مَا كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِهِ لَا عَدْوَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no contagious disease and the sick should not visit the healthy. The healthy should visit the sick wherever they wish." It was said, "What is the reason for this, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "It is harm."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا يَحِلُّ الْمُمْرِضُ عَلَى الْمُصِحِّ وَلْيَحِلَّ الْمُصِحُّ حَيْثُ شَاءَ قِيلَ مَا بَالُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهُ أَذًى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "There is no contagion, no evil eye, and no change in the fetus due to a fetus. The sick should not visit the healthy, and the healthy should visit the sick as they please." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, why is that?" He said, "Because it is harm inflicted by this strange chain of narration, if the narrator is trustworthy. And Allah knows best."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا هَامَةَ وَلَا صَفَرَ وَلَا يَحِلُّ الْمُمْرِضُ عَلَى الْمُصِحِّ وَلْيَحِلَّ الْمُصِحُّ حَيْثُ شَاءَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلِمَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ أَذًى هَذَا غَرِيبٌ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّقَاشِيُّ حَفِظَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

This calamity or illness was a punishment with which were punished some of the nations before you. Then it was left upon the earth. It goes away once and comes back again. He who heard of its presence in a land should not go towards it, and he who happened to be in a land where it had broken out should not fly from it. (Using translation from Muslim 2218f)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّاعُونَ أَوِ السَّقَمَ رِجْزٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ بَعْضُ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ ثُمَّ بَقِيَ بَعْدُ بِالْأَرْضِ فَيَذْهَبُ الْمَرَّةَ وَيَأْتِي الْأُخْرَى فَمَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا يَقْدَمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَهُوَ بِهَا فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّهُ الْفِرَارُ مِنْهُ  

[Machine] Omar gathered the early immigrants and consulted them. They disagreed with him, with some advising him to turn back and not expose the people to this pandemic, while others said it was the will of God and he had set out for a purpose, so he should not turn back. Omar ordered them to disperse, and then he called upon the Ansar for their consultation. They also had different opinions, but eventually agreed that Omar should turn back with the people. Omar gave the order, and then he mounted his camel and said to the people, "I am going back. I will see what I decide. Follow me." He proceeded, and in the morning he said, "If someone besides you had said that, Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah, I would have dismissed him as fleeing from the decree of Allah." Abu Ubaidah replied, "Indeed, this is what I mean, fleeing from one degree of Allah to another. Have you not seen that if a man descends into a valley, one side of it is barren and the other side is fertile? Isn't it true that if he tends to the barren side, he tends to it by the decree of Allah, and if he tends to the fertile side, he tends to it by the decree of Allah?" Then Omar left Abu Ubaidah and they both reconsidered for a while. Then Abdul Rahman bin Auf came, who had been absent for some of his own affairs. He came while the people were arguing, and he said, "I have knowledge about this." Omar asked, "What is it?" He replied, "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague breaks out in a land while you are in it, do not leave that land.'" Omar praised Allah and returned to the people, ordering them to turn back. Ibn Shihab said, "Salim bin Abdullah informed me that Abdullah bin Omar and Abdullah bin Amr bin Rabia said: 'Omar only changed his mind based on the advice of Abdul Rahman bin Auf.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was approached by a Bedouin man who said, "Indeed, my wife has given birth to a dark-skinned boy." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do you have any camels?" The man replied, "Yes." He then asked, "What color are they?" The man replied, "Red." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do they have any spots?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perhaps your son inherited that trait from them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا أَسْوَدَ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَكُونُ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا أَلْوَانُهَا؟ قَالَ حُمْرٌ قَالَ هَلْ فِيهَا أَوْرَقُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِمَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ ذَاكَ عِرْقٌ نَزَعَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَعَلَّ ابْنَكَ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ  

[Machine] There was a man with leprosy in the delegation of Thaqif, so the Prophet ﷺ sent a message to him saying, "We have given you our allegiance, so return." Abu Al-Abbas ibn Al-Fadl ibn Ali ibn Muhammad Al-Isfiryani informed us, reporting from Bashr ibn Ahmad, who narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ali, who narrated from Yahya ibn Yahya, who reported from Hushaym, who mentioned it with a similar narration.  

كَانَ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ رَجُلٌ مَجْذُومٌ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّا قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ فَارْجِعْ 14245 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْإِسْفِرَايِينِيُّ أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ هُشَيْمٌ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no contagious disease, no superstitious belief in the owl, and no bad omen. Beware of the leper as you would beware of a lion."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا هَامَةَ وَلَا صَفَرَ وَاتَّقُوا الْمَجْذُومَ كَمَا يُتَّقَى الْأَسَدُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not underestimate looking at them," referring to the lepers.  

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُحِدُّوا النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَعْنِي الْمَجْذُومِينَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Do not continue to look at them."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُدِيمُوا النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not keep looking at defects, and it is said that it was said about her from her father."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُدِيمُوا النَّظَرَ إِلَى الْمَجَاذِيمِ وَقِيلَ عَنْهَا عَنْ أَبِيهَا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a man who was suffering from tubercular leprosy by the hand; he then put it along with his own hand in the dish and said: Eat with confidence in Allah and trust in Him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3925)   

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ مَجْذُومٍ فَوَضَعَهَا مَعَهُ فِي قَصْعَةٍ فَقَالَ كُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ وَتَوَكُّلًا عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, there were three people from the Children of Israel: a leper, a bald person, and a blind person. Allah wanted to test them, so He sent an angel to them. The angel came to the leper and said, 'What do you desire the most?' The leper replied, 'A good complexion and good skin, as people have shunned me.' So, the angel wiped him and his leprosy was gone, and he was given a good complexion and good skin. This hadith continues."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ ثَلَاثَةً فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَبْرَصَ وَأَقْرَعَ وَأَعْمَى أَرَادَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنْ يَبْتَلِيَهُمْ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَلَكًا فَأَتَى الْأَبْرَصَ فَقَالَ أِيُّ شَيْءٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ لَوْنٌ حَسَنٌ وَجِلْدٌ حَسَنٌ فَقَدْ قَذِرَنِي النَّاسُ قَالَ فَمَسَحَهُ فَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ قَذَرُهُ وَأُعْطِيَ لَوْنًا حَسَنًا وَجِلْدًا حَسَنًا وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
