Patience during a plague and submission to Will of Allah reaps the reward of martyrdom

I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the plague. He told me that: "It is a Punishment sent by Allah on whom he wills, and Allah made it a source of mercy for the believers, for if one in the time of an epidemic plague stays in his country patiently hoping for Allah's Reward and believing that nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, he will get the reward of a martyr."  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ فَأَخْبَرَنِي: «أَنَّهُ عَذَابٌ يَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ: لَيْسَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي بَلَدِهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا، يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُصِيبُهُ إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ شَهِيدٍ۔»  

(the wife of the Prophet) that she asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about plague, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed her saying, "Plague was a punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but Allah made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient in a land in which plague has broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْنَا أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ فَأَخْبَرَهَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابًا يَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ فَجَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي بَلَدِهِ صَابِرًا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَهُ إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ الشَّهِيدِ  

(the wife of the Prophet) that she asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about plague, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed her saying, "Plague was a punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but Allah made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient in a land in which plague has broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5734)  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَهَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابًا يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ فَجَعَلَهُ اللهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ وَقَعَ الطَّاعُونُ فِي بَلَدِهِ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي بَلَدِهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَهُ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِشَهِيدٍ  

[Machine] She said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the plague, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed me that it was a punishment sent by Allah to whomever He wills. And He made it a mercy for the believers. So if a person stays in his house patiently, hoping for reward, knowing that nothing will afflict him except what Allah has written for him, then he will have the reward of a martyr."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابًا يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ فَجَعَلَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي بَيْتِهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يُصِيبُهُ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ الشَّهِيدِ  

[Machine] "From Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, she reported that she asked the Prophet of Allah about the plague, and the Prophet of Allah informed her that it was a punishment that Allah sends upon whom He wills. And Allah made it a mercy for the believers. So, anyone who remains in a city afflicted by the plague, patiently expecting the reward from Allah and knowing that nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, will receive a reward similar to that of a martyr."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ فَأَخْبَرَهَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابًا يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ فَجَعَلَهُ اللهُ ﷻ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي بَلَدِهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ الشَّهِيدِ  

(the wife of the Prophet) that she asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about plague, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed her saying, "Plague was a punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but Allah made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient in a land in which plague has broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5734)  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَهَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ «أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابًا يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ شَاءَ فَجَعَلَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقَعُ فِي الطَّاعُونِ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي بَلَدِهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَهُ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ شَهِيدٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the plague, and she (a woman) said: "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ informed me that it is a punishment that Allah sends upon whomever He wills. He made it a mercy for the believers. So, when a servant of Allah resides in a land wherein the plague has broken out, and he remains patient and expects the reward from Allah, knowing that nothing will afflict him except what Allah has written for him, then he will receive a reward similar to that of a martyr."  

سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَتْ حَدَّثَنِي نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ عَذَابٌ يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ فَجَعَلَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَيْسَ عَبْدٌ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ فَيُقِيمُ بِبَلَدِهِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَهُ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ شَهِيدٍ  

"الطَّاعُونُ كَانَ عَذَابًا يَبْعَثُه الله عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ، وَإِنَّ الله جَعَلَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلمُؤْمِنين، فَلَيسَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ فَيمْكثُ في بَلَدِه صَابرًا مُحْتِسبًا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لا يصِيبُه إلا مَا كَتَبَ الله لَهُ إلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ شَهِيد".
