حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّامِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِسَرْغَ لَقِيَهُ أُمَرَاءُ الْأَجْنَادِ: أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّ الْوَبَاءَ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ادْعُوا لِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ. فَدُعُوا لَهُ، فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: خَرَجْتَ لِأَمْرٍ وَلَا نَرَى أَنْ تَرْجِعَ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: مَعَكَ بَقِيَّةُ النَّاسِ وَأَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا نَرَى أَنْ تُقْدِمَهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَبَاءِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: ارْتَفِعُوا عَنِّي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ادْعُوا لِيَ الْأَنْصَارَ، فَدُعُوا لَهُ، فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ، فَسَلَكُوا سَبِيلَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَاخْتَلَفُوا كَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ، قَالَ: قُومُوا عَنِّي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ادْعُوا لِي مَنْ كَانَ هَاهُنَا مِنْ مَشْيَخَةِ قُرَيْشٍ، مِنْ مُهَاجِرَةِ الْفَتْحِ، فَدُعُوا لَهُ، فَاسْتَشَارَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفْ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلَانِ، فَقَالُوا: نَرَى أَنْ تَرْجِعَ بِالنَّاسِ، وَلَا تُقْدِمَهُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَبَاءِ، فَنَادَى عُمَرُ: إِنِّي مُصْبِحٌ عَلَى ظَهْرٍ، فَاجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ: أَفِرَارًا مِنْ قَدَرِ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَوْ غَيْرُكَ قَالَهَا يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ، نَعَمْ، فِرَارًا مِنْ قَدَرِ اللهِ إِلَى قَدَرِ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَتْ لَكَ إِبِلٌ فَهَبَطَتْ وَادِيًا ذَا عُدْوَتَيْنِ: إِحْدَاهُمَا خَصْبَةٌ وَالْأُخْرَى جَدْبَةٌ، أَلَيْسَ إِنْ رَعَيْتَ الْخَصْبَةَ رَعَيْتَهَا بِقَدَرِ اللهِ، وَإِنْ رَعَيْتَ الْجَدْبَةَ رَعَيْتَهَا بِقَدَرِ اللهِ ؟ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَكَانَ مُتَغَيِّبًا فِي بَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ عِنْدِي مِنْ هَذَا عِلْمًا، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ " فَحَمِدَ اللهَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab went out to Syria until when he was at Sargh, the commanders of the armies met him: Abu Ubayda b. al-Jarrah and his companions. They informed him that the plague had occurred in Syria. Umar said: Summon for me the earliest Muhajirun. They were summoned for him, and he consulted them. Some of them said: You have gone out for a matter, and we do not think that you should return. Others said: With you are the remainder of the people and the companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and we do not think that you should advance them upon this plague. He said to them: Leave me. Then he said: Summon for me the Ansar. They were summoned for him, and he consulted them. They followed the path of the Muhajirun and differed as they differed. He said: Rise from me. Then he said: Summon for me whoever is here from the elders of Quraysh, from the Muhajirun of the conquest. They were summoned for him, and he consulted them. No two men differed upon him; they said: We think that you should return with the people and not advance them upon this plague. So Umar called out: I am departing in the morning upon a mount. They gathered before him, and Abu Ubayda said: Fleeing from the decree of God? He said: If someone other than you had said it, O Abu Ubayda. Yes, we flee from the decree of God to the decree of God. Do you see if you had camels and they descended into a valley with two sides, one fertile and the other barren—if you grazed the fertile one, you grazed it by the decree of God, and if you grazed the barren one, you grazed it by the decree of God? Then Abd al-Rahman came, having been absent on some errand of his, and he said: I have knowledge about this. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "If you hear of it in a land, do not go forward to it; and if it occurs in a land while you are in it, do not leave fleeing from it." Then Umar praised God and turned back.
