Plague is a calamity which was inflicted on those who were before you, or upon Bani Isra'il. So when it has broken out in a land, don't run out of it, and when it has spread in a land, then don't enter it.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّاعُونَ رِجْزٌ سُلِّطَ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَوْ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ وَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا
I would inform you about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is a calamity or a disease which Allah sent to a group of Bani Isra'il, or to the people who were before you; so when you hear of it in land, don't enter it and when it has broken out in your land, don't run away from it.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ عَذَابٌ أَوْ رِجْزٌ أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ نَاسٍ كَانُوا قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا دَخَلَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا
[Machine] The plague was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he said, "It is a punishment that those before you were afflicted with. So if it appears in a land, do not enter it, and if it is already in a land and you are there, then do not leave it."
ذُكِرَ الطَّاعُونُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رِجْزٌ أُصِيبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا كَانَ بِهَا وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا
[Machine] "The plague was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, 'It is a punishment that those before you were afflicted with. If it breaks out in a land and you are in it, do not leave, and if you are in a land where it has broken out, do not enter it.'"
أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ رِجْزٌأُصِيبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإذا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ بِأَرْضٍ وَهُوَ بِهَا فَلا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا
[Machine] From him, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, this is a punishment that Allah has sent upon people before you or a group from the Children of Israel. It comes sometimes and goes sometimes. So, when it occurs in a land, do not enter it, and when it occurs in your land, do not flee from it."
عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَوْ كَذَا أَرْسَلَهُ اللهُ عَلَى نَاسٍ قَبْلَكُمْ أَوْ طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَهُوَ يَجِيءُ أَحْيَانًا وَيَذْهَبُ أَحْيَانًا فَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ
What have you heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ about plague? Thereupon Usama said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Plague is a calamity which was sent to Bani Isra'il or upon those who were before you. So when you hear that it has broken out in a land, don't go to it, and when it has broken out in the land where you are, don't run out of it. In the narration transmitted on the authority of Abu Nadr there is a slight variation of wording. (Using translation from Muslim 2218a)
سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الطَّاعُونِ؟ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الطَّاعُونُ رِجْزٌ أُرْسِلَ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ عَلَى مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَقْدُمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, this plague is a punishment and a torment inflicted upon those who came before you. So, if it happens in a land, do not leave it, and if it strikes a land that you are in, do not enter it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّاعُونَ رِجْزٌ وَعَذَابٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَلَسْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا»
"إِنَّ هذا الطَّاعونَ رِجْزٌ نَزَلَ على من كان قبلكَم، فَإِذا سمعتم به في أَرض فلا تدخلوها وإِذا كان وأَنتم بها فلا تخرُجوا منْها".
