Hadith #118
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ جَاء
َ رَجُلٌ يَسْأَلُ سَعْدًا عَنْ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَا أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَوْ كَذَا أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَاسٍ قَبْلَكُمْ أَوْ طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَهُوَ يَجِيءُ أَحْيَانًا وَيَذْهَبُ أَحْيَانًا فَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Usama ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ß say: "This (plague) is a punishment or torment that Allah sent upon those before you. It remains in some lands. When you hear it is somewhere, do not go to it; but if it breaks out in a land while you are there, do not flee from it."'
