Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ يَحْيَى
بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ رِجْزٌ أُصِيبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ بِأَرْضٍ وَهُوَ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا

English Translation
It was narrated from Sa'd (رضي الله عنه) that the plague was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: 'It is a punishment that was sent upon those before you. When it is in a land, do not enter it. And when it occurs in a land while you are in it, do not leave fleeing from it.'
