English translation
6619. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about the plague. He said, "That was a means of torture which Allāh used to send upon whomsoever He wished, but He made it a source of mercy for the believers, for anyone who is residing in a country in which this disease has spread, and he remains there and does not leave that country, but remains patient and hopes for Allāh's Reward, and knows that nothing will befall him except what Allāh has written for him, then he will get such reward as that of a martyr."
