Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:273 حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ أنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أنا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَبَاءَ رِجْزٌ أَهْلَكَ اللهُ بِهِ بَعْضَ الْأُمَمِ وَقَدْ بَقِيَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ يَجِيءُ أَحْيَانًا وَيَذْهَبُ أَحْيَانًا فَإِذَا وَقَعَ وَأَنْتُمْ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ فِي أَرْضٍ فَلَا تَأْتُوهَا»
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'This epidemic is a remnant of a torment or punishment with which some people before you were afflicted. When it comes to a land, it comes in waves and then lifts. So whoever hears of it in a land should not go to it, and whoever is in a land where it falls should not leave fleeing from it.'
