Sahih al-Bukhari 6974

Hadith text

Narrated 'Amir bin Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas:That he heard Usama bin Zaid speaking to Sa`d, saying, "Allah's Messenger (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

Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas bataate hain ke unhone Usama bin Zaid ko Sa'd se ye baat karte suna: 'Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne mahamaari (plague) ka zikr kiya aur kaha, "Ye ek saza ka zariya hai jise Allah ne kuch ummaton ko saza dene ke liye bheja, aur uska kuch hissa baaqi rehta hai, aur wo kabhi-kabhi zaahir hota hai. Isliye jo koi sune ke kisi zameen mein mahamaari phail rahi hai, use us zameen mein nahi jaana chaahiye, aur agar mahamaari us zameen mein phail jaaye jahaan koi pehle se maujood ho, use us zameen ko chhod kar mahamaari se bhaagna nahi chaahiye."'
