English translation
[5787] 100 - (...) It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Âmir bin Rabî'ah that 'Umar set out for Ash-Shâm, but when he came to Sargh he heard that pestilence had broken out in Ash-Shâm. 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Awf told him that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "If you hear of it breaking out in some land, do not go there, and if it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave, fleeing from it." So 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb returned from Sargh. It was narrated from Ibn Shihâb from Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh that 'Umar went back with the people.
