It was narrated that Usamah said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘This plague is a punishment that was sent upon those who came before you, or upon the Children of Israel. If it is present in a land (where you are), do not depart from it, fleeing from it, and if it is in a land, do not go there.”’

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّاعُونَ رِجْزٌ سُلِّطَ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، أَوْ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ ، وَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا.

Amir bin Sa’d narrated that a man asked Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas about the plague. Usamah bin Zaid said: “I will tell you about it. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘It is a torment or a punishment that Allah sent upon some of the Children of Israel, or some people who came before you. If you hear of it in some land, do not go there, and if it comes upon you, do not leave, fleeing from it.”’

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ ، فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ : أَنَا أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هُوَ عَذَابٌ ، أَوْ رِجْزٌ أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، أَوْ نَاسٍ كَانُوا قَبْلَكُمْ ، فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ ، فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا عَلَيْهِ ، وَإِذَا دَخَلَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا.

It was narrated from Usamah bin Zaid that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “This pain or this sickness (meaning plague) is a punishment with which some of the nations who came before you were punished, then it remained on earth after that, coming and going from time to time. Whoever hears of it in some land should not go there, and whoever is in a land where it breaks out should not leave, fleeing from it.”

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالاَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ أَوِ السَّقَمَ رِجْزٌ عُذِّبَ بِهِ بَعْضُ الأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ ، ثُمَّ بَقِيَ بَعْدُ بِالأَرْضِ ، فَيَذْهَبُ الْمَرَّةَ وَيَأْتِي الأُخْرَى ، فَمَنْ سَمِعَ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ ، فَلاَ يَقْدَمَنَّ عَلَيْهِ ، وَمَنْ وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَهُوَ بِهَا فَلاَ يُخْرِجَنَّهُ الْفِرَارُ مِنْهُ.

It was narrated that Habib said: “We were in Al-Madinah and we heard that the plague had broken out in Al0Kufah. ‘Ata’ bin Yasar and others told me that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘If you are in a land where the plague breaks out, do not leave, and if you hear that it is in some land, do not go there.’ I said: ‘From whom (did you hear this)? He said: ‘From Amir bin Sa’d who narrated it.’ I went to him and the said: ‘He is away.’ But I met his brother Ibrahim bin Sa’d and I asked him. He said: ‘I was present when Usamah narrated it to Sa’d. He (Usamah) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: “This disease is a calamity and a punishment, or the remainder of a punishment, with which some of those who came before you were punished. If it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave it, and if you hear that it is in a land, do not go there.”’ Habib said: I said to Ibrahim: ‘Did you hear Usamah narrate it to Sa’d, and he did not deny it?’ He said: ‘Yes.”’

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالْكُوفَةِ ، فَقَالَ لِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ وَغَيْرُهُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِذَا كُنْتَ بِأَرْضٍ فَوَقَعَ بِهَا ، فَلاَ تَخْرُجْ مِنْهَا ، وَإِذَا بَلَغَكَ أَنَّهُ بِأَرْضٍ ، فَلاَ تَدْخُلْهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ : عَمَّنْ ؟ قَالُوا : عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ ، قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالُوا : غَائِبٌ ، قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ أَخَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ : شَهِدْتُ أُسَامَةَ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ رِجْزٌ ، أَوْ عَذَابٌ ، أَوْ بَقِيَّةُ عَذَابٍ عُذِّبَ بِهِ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا ، فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا وَإِذَا بَلَغَكُمْ أَنَّهُ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا.قَالَ حَبِيبٌ : فَقُلْتُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ : آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ أُسَامَةَ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا وَهُوَ لاَ يُنْكِرُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas that ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab set out for Ash-Sham, and when he was in Sargh he was met by the commanders of the troops, Abu ‘Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah and his companions, who told him that pestilence had broken out in Ash-Sham. Ibn ‘Abbas said: “Umar said: ‘Call the first Muhajirin for me.’ So I called them, and he consulted them and told them that pestilence had broken out in Ash-Sham. They had a difference of opinion. Some of them said: ‘You have come out for a purpose and we do not think that you should go back.’ Some said: ‘You have the remainder of the people and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) with you; we do not think that you should continue with them to where this pestilence is.’ Then he said: ‘Call the Ansar for me,’ so I called them for him. And he consulted them, and they did not same as the Muhajirin had done, and had the same difference of opinion, He said: ‘You may go.’ Then he said: ‘Call for me those who are here of the elders of the Quraish who migrated after the conquest of Makkah. I called them and no two men among them differed. They said: ‘We think that you should go back with the people and not take them to where this pestilence is.’ ‘Umar called out to the people: ‘In the morning I will be mounted, so get on your mount in the morning.’ Abu ‘Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah said: ‘Are you fleeing from the Decree of Allah?’ ‘Umar said: ‘Would that someone other than you had said that, O Abu ‘Ubaidah’ – because ‘Umar did not like to disagree with him –‘Yes, we are fleeing from the Decree of Allah to the Decree of Allah. Do you think that if you had camels and they came down into a valley that had two sides, one that was green and verdant and one that was barren, and you took them to graze in the verdant side, would that not be by the Decree of Allah? And if you took them to graze on the barren side, would that not also be by the Decree of Allah?’ Then ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf came, who had been absent on some errand, and said: ‘I have some knowledge about that. I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: ‘If you hear that it (the plague) is in a land, do not go there, and if it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave, fleeing from it.” ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab praised Allah, then he went back.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّامِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِسَرْغَ لَقِيَهُ أَهْلُ الأَجْنَادِ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ.قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : ادْعُ لِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ ، فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ ، وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ ، فَاخْتَلَفُوا فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : قَدْ خَرَجْتَ لأَمْرٍ وَلاَ نَرَى أَنْ تَرْجِعَ عَنْهُ ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَعَكَ بَقِيَّةُ النَّاسِ وَأَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلاَ نَرَى أَنْ تُقْدِمَهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَبَاءِ فَقَالَ : ارْتَفِعُوا عَنِّي ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعُ لِي الأَنْصَارِ فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ لَهُ ، فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ ، فَسَلَكُوا سَبِيلَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ، وَاخْتَلَفُوا كَاخْتِلاَفِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ : ارْتَفِعُوا عَنِّي ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ادْعُ لِي مَنْ كَانَ هَاهُنَا مِنْ مَشْيَخَةِ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ مُهَاجِرَةِ الْفَتْحِ ، فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفْ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلاَنِ ، فَقَالُوا : نَرَى أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِالنَّاسِ وَلاَ تُقْدِمَهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَبَاءِ ، فَنَادَى عُمَرُ فِي النَّاسِ : إِنِّي مُصْبِحٌ عَلَى ظَهْرٍ ، فَأَصْبِحُوا عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ : أَفِرَارًا مِنْ قَدَرِ اللهِ ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : لَوْ غَيْرُكَ قَالَهَا يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَكْرَهُ خِلاَفَهُ ، نَعَمْ نَفِرُّ مِنْ قَدَرِ اللهِ إِلَى قَدَرِ اللهِ ، أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَتْ لَكَ إِبِلٌ فَهَبَطَتْ وَادِيًا لَهُ عُدْوَتَانِ ، إِحْدَاهُمَا خَصْبَةٌ وَالأُخْرَى جَدْبَةٌ أَلَيْسَ إِنْ رَعَيْتَ الْخَصْبَةَ رَعَيْتَهَا بِقَدَرِ اللهِ ، وَإِنْ رَعَيْتَ الْجَدْبَةَ رَعَيْتَهَا بِقَدَرِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ، وَكَانَ مُتَغَيِّبًا فِي بَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ عِنْدِي مِنْ هَذَا عِلْمًا ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ ، فَلاَ تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ ، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا ، فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ. قَالَ : فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ.

Ma’mar narrated with this chain of narrators a Hadith like that of Malik (mo. 5784), and in the Hadith of Ma’mar it adds: “And he (i.e., ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab) said to him: ‘Do you think that if he took them to graze in the barren part and not the verdant part, that this would be a shortcoming?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then move on.’ So he traveled until he came to Al-Madinah, and he said: ‘This is the right place,’ or he said: ‘This is the destination if Allah, the Exalted, wills.”’

وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ. وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ : وَقَالَ لَهُ أَيْضًا : أَرَأَيْتَ أَنَّهُ لَوْ رَعَى الْجَدْبَةَ وَتَرَكَ الْخَصْبَةَ أَكُنْتَ مُعَجِّزَهُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَسِرْ إِذًا ، قَالَ: فَسَارَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَقَالَ : هَذَا الْمَحِلُّ ، أَوْ قَالَ : هَذَا الْمَنْزِلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amir bin Rabi'ah that ‘Umar set out for Ash-Sham, but when he came to Sargh he heard that pestilence had broken out in Ash-Sham. ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf told him that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) 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-Khattab returned from Sargh. It was narrated from Ibn Shihab from Salim bin ‘Abdullah that ‘Umar went back with the people.

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ، خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سَرْغَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ ، فَلاَ تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ ، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا ، فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْ سَرْغَ. وَعَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ، إِنَّمَا انْصَرَفَ بِالنَّاسِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that when the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “There is no ‘Adwa, no Safar and no Hamah," a Bedouin said: “O Messenger of Allah, what about camels that are running about in the sand like deer, then a mangy camel comes to them and they all get infected?” He said: “Who infected the first one?”

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي الطَّاهِرِ ، قَالاَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، حِينَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ صَفَرَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَمَا بَالُ الإِبِلِ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ كَأَنَّهَا الظِّبَاءُ ، فَيَجِيءُ الْبَعِيرُ الأَجْرَبُ فَيَدْخُلُ فِيهَا فَيُجْرِبُهَا كُلَّهَا ؟ قَالَ: فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الأَوَّلَ ؟.

Abu Hurairah said: “The Prophet (s.a.w) said: ‘There is no ‘Adwa.’ A Bedouin stood up…” and he (the sub narrator) mentioned a Hadith like that of Yunus and Salih. And it was narrated from Shu'aib that Az-Zuhri said: “As-Sa’ib bin Yazid bin Ukht Namir told me that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: ‘There is no ‘Adwa, no Safar and no Hamah.”’

وحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سِنَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيُّ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لاَ عَدْوَى فَقَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَذَكَرَ ... بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ ، وَصَالِحٍ. وَعَنْ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ابْنِ أُخْتِ نَمِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ صَفَرَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ.

It was narrated from Ibn Shihab that Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf told him that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “There is no ‘Adwa.” And he narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “No sick camel should be put with a healthy one.”Abu Salamah said: Abu Hurairah narrated them both the Ahadith from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), then after the Abu Hurairah did not mention “There is no ‘Adwa,” but he continued to narrate the words: “No sick camel should be put with a healthy one.” Al-Harith bin Abu Dhubab – said: “O Abu Hurairah, I used to hear you narrate along with this Hadith another Hadith, concerning which you are now silent. You used to say: ‘The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said “There is no ‘Adwa.” But Abu Hurairah refused to acknowledge that and he said: “No sick camel should be put with a healthy one.” Al-Harith disagreed about that until Abu Hurairah grew angry and said something in Abyssinian, then he said to Al-Harith: “Do you know what I said?” He said: “No.” Abu Hurairah said: “I denied it.” Abu Salamah said: “By Allah, Abu Hurairah used to narrate to us that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘There is no ‘Adwa.’ I do not know whether Abu Hurairah forgot or whether one of them abrogated the other.”

وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ ، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ ، قَالاَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لاَ عَدْوَى وَيُحَدِّثُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لاَ يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ.قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُهُمَا كِلْتَيْهِمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ صَمَتَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ لاَ عَدْوَى وَأَقَامَ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ قَالَ : فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : قَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُكَ ، يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ تُحَدِّثُنَا مَعَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ حَدِيثًا آخَرَ ، قَدْ سَكَتَّ عَنْهُ ، كُنْتَ تَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لاَ عَدْوَى فَأَبَى أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : لاَ يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ فَمَا رَآهُ الْحَارِثُ فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى غَضِبَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَرَطَنَ بِالْحَبَشِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ لِلْحَارِثِ : أَتَدْرِي مَاذَا قُلْتُ ؟ قَالَ : لاَ ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : قُلْتُ أَبَيْتُ.قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : وَلَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، يُحَدِّثُنَا ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لاَ عَدْوَى فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَنَسِيَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَوْ نَسَخَ أَحَدُ الْقَوْلَيْنِ الآخَرَ ؟.
