ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْكِمْ صِنَاعَةَ الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّهُ مُضَادٌّ لِقَوْلِهِ ﷺ «لَا عَدْوَى» أَوْ نَاسِخٌ لَهُ

There is no transitive disease, but he is also reported to have said: A sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Abu Salama said that Abu Huraira used to narrate these two (different ahadith) from Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but afterwards Abu Huraira became silent on these words:" There is no transitive disease," but he stuck to this that the sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Harith b. Abu Dhubab (and he was the first cousin of Abu Huraira) said: Abu Huraira, I used to hear from you that you narrated to us along with this hadith and the other one also (there is no transitive disease), but now you observe silence about it. You used to say that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There is no transitive disease. Abu Huraira denied having any knowledge of that, but he said that the sick camel should not be taken to the healthy one. Harith, however, did not agree with him, which irritated Abu Huraira and he said to him some words in the Abyssinian language. He said to Harith: Do you know what I said to you? He said: No. Abu Huraira said: I simply denied having said it. Abu Salama sad: By my life, Abu Huraira in fact used to report Messenger of Allah ﷺ having said: There is no transitive disease. I do not know whether Abu Huraira has forgotten it or he deemed it an abrogated statement in the light of the other one. (Using translation from Muslim 2221a)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا عَدْوَى» وَحَدَّثَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ» قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ فَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِمَا كِلَيْهِمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَمَتَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ «لَا عَدْوَى» وَأَقَامَ عَلَى أَنْ «لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ» فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي ذِئَابٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ تُحَدِّثُنَا مَعَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ حَدِيثًا آخَرَ قَدْ سَكَتَّ عَنْهُ كُنْتَ تَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا عَدْوَى» فَأَبِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ «لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ» قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَلَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا عَدْوَى» وَلَا أَدْرِي أَنَسِيَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَوْ نَسَخَ أَحَدُ الْقَوْلَيْنِ الْآخَرَ  

[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.'"
