That he heard Usama bin Zaid speaking to Saʿd, saying, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the plague and said, 'It is a means of punishment with which some nations were punished and some of it has remained, and it appears now and then. So whoever hears that there is an outbreak of plague in some land, he should not go to that land, and if the plague breaks out in the land where one is already present, one should not run away from that land, escaping from the plague."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ الْوَجَعَ فَقَالَ رِجْزٌ أَوْ عَذَابٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ بَعْضُ الأُمَمِ ثُمَّ بَقِيَ مِنْهُ بَقِيَّةٌ فَيَذْهَبُ الْمَرَّةَ وَيَأْتِي الأُخْرَى فَمَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ يَقْدَمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ وَقَعَ بِهَا فَلاَ يَخْرُجْ فِرَارًا مِنْهُ

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

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.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ أَوِ السَّقَمَ رِجْزٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ بَعْضُ الأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ ثُمَّ بَقِيَ بَعْدُ بِالأَرْضِ فَيَذْهَبُ الْمَرَّةَ وَيَأْتِي الأُخْرَى فَمَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ يَقْدَمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَهُوَ بِهَا فَلاَ يُخْرِجَنَّهُ الْفِرَارُ مِنْهُ

[AI] 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

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ رِجْزٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ بَعْضُ الْأُمَمِ فَيَذْهَبُ الْمَرَّةَ وَيَأْتِي الْأُخْرَى فَمَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ فِي أَرْضٍ فَلَا يَقْدَمْ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ هُوَ بِهَا فَلَا يَخْرُجَنَّ فِرَارًا مِنْهُ

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 قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ أَوِ السَّقَمَ رِجْزٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ بَعْضُ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ ثُمَّ بَقِيَ بَعْدُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَذْهَبُ الْمَرَّةَ وَيَأْتِي الْأُخْرَى فَمَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا يَقْدَمُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَهُوَ بِهَا فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّهُ الْفِرَارُ مِنْهُ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ

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

"إِنَّ هذَا الْوَبَاءَ رِجْزٌ أَهلك اللَّه به بعض الأُمم قبلكم وقد بقى منه في الأرض شئٌ، يجئ أَحْيَانًا ويذهب أَحيانًا، فإِذا وقع بأرض وأَنتم بها فلا تخرجوا منها فِرارًا منه، وإِذا سمعتم به في أَرضٍ فلا تأتوها".

"إِنَّ هذا السَّقَمَ رِجْزٌ عُذِّبَ به بعض الأُمَمِ قبلكم ثُمَّ بقى بعدُ في

الأَرضِ، فيذهب المرة ويأْتى الأُخرى فَمَنْ سَمِعَ به في أَرضٍ فَلَا يَقْدِمَنَّ عليه، ومن وقعَ بأَرضٍ وهو بها، فلا يُخْرِجَنَّه الفِرارُ منه".

"الطَّاعُونُ بَقِيَّةُ رجْز أَوْ عَذَابٍ أُرْسِلَ عَلَى طَائِفةٍ مِنْ بَنى إِسْرَئِيلَ، فإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُم بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ وإِذَا وَقَعَ بأَرْضٍ ولسْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَهْبِطُوا عليها ".
