Hadith #50
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شُرَحْبِيلَ ابْنَ شُفْعَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ وَقَعَ فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ إِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ فَتَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ وَقَالَ شُرَحْبِيلُ ابْنُ حَسَنَةَ إِنِّي قَدْ صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَمْرٌو أَضَل
ُّ مِنْ جَمَلِ أَهْلِهِ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَضَلُّ مِنْ بَعِيرِ أَهْلِهِ وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّهَا رَحْمَةُ رَبِّكُمْ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَمَوْتُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَاجْتَمِعُوا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ قَالَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ

English Translation
Shurahbīl ibn Shufʿah narrated from ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ that when the plague struck, ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ said: 'It is a filth, so scatter from it.' Shurahbīl ibn Ḥasanah said: 'I was a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and ʿAmr is more astray than his family's camel' — Shuʿbah sometimes said: 'more astray than his family's pack-camel' — and he said: 'It is the mercy of your Lord, the supplication of your Prophet, and the death of the righteous before you. So gather together and do not scatter from it.' This reached ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, who said: 'He has spoken the truth.'
