[5779] 97 - (...) It was narrated that Ĥabîb said: "We were in Al-Madînah and we heard that the plague had broken out in Al-Kûfah. 'Aţâ' bin Yasâr and others told me that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ 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 Ibrâhîm 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 Allâh ﷺ 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.'" Ĥabîb said: "I said to Ibrâhîm: 'Did you hear Usâmah narrate it to Sa'd, and he did not deny it?' He said: 'Yes.'"

97 - (2218) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَقَالَ لِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ وَغَيْرُهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا كُنْتَ بِأَرْضٍ فَوَقَعَ بِهَا، فَلَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْهَا، وَإِذَا بَلَغَكَ أَنَّهُ بِأَرْضٍ، فَلَا تَدْخُلْهَا» قَالَ قُلْتُ: عَمَّنْ؟ قَالُوا: عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ، قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالُوا: غَائِبٌ، قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ أَخَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ: شَهِدْتُ أُسَامَةَ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ رِجْزٌ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَوْ بَقِيَّةُ عَذَابٍ عُذِّبَ بِهِ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا، فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا وَإِذَا بَلَغَكُمْ أَنَّهُ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا» قَالَ حَبِيبٌ: فَقُلْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ أُسَامَةَ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا وَهُوَ لَا يُنْكِرُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ.
