2290. Sālim bin ‘Abdullāh narrated from his father about the dream of the Prophet ﷺ who said: “I saw a black woman with unkempt hair going out of Al-
Madīnah, until she stood in Mahya'ah, and it is Al-Juhfah. So I interpreted that to be an epidemic in Al-Madīnah that would spread to Al-Juhfah." (Sahih)
[He said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Sahih Gharīb.

Commentary
When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ emigrated to Al-Madīnah, he found the inhabitants of the place contending with an epidemic-like spread of fever. It was a particularly disturbing phenomenon for the emigrants. The Prophet ﷺ, therefore, supplicated to Allāh to move the epidemic to Juhfah. Allāh ﷻ accepted the supplication. The epidemic was shown to the Prophet ﷺ in the form of a black woman with unkempt hair.
