English

[5779] 97 – ( … ) It was narrated that Habib said: "We were in A]- Madinah and we heard that the plague had broken out in Al- KiIfah. 'Atâ' bin Yasâr and others told me that the Messenger of Allah said: 'If you are in a land where the plague breaks out, do not leave, and if you hear that it is in some land, do not go there.' I said: 'From whom (did you hear this)?' He said: 'From 'Amir bin Sa'd who narrated it.' I went to him and they said: 'He is away.' But I met his brother IbrâhIm bin Sa'd and I asked him. He said: 'I was present when Usâmah narrated it to Sa'd. He (Usâmah) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'This disease is a calamity and a punishment, or the remainder of a punishment, with which some of those who came before you were punished. If it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave it, and if you hear that it is in a land, do not go there." Habib said: "I said to IbrâhIm: 'Did you hear Usâmah narrate it to Sa'd, and he did not deny it?' He said: 'Yes."
