و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْکَدِرِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّاعُونَ رِجْزٌ سُلِّطَ عَلَی مَنْ کَانَ قَبْلَکُمْ أَوْ عَلَی بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِذَا کَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ وَإِذَا کَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5774
Usama reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Plague is a calamity which was inflicted on those who were before you, or upon Bani Isra'il. So when it has broken out in a land, don't run out of it, and when it has spread in a land, then don't enter it.
