Musnad Ahmad 21818

Translation

✧ I was in Madinah when it reached me that the plague was in Kufa. He said: ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār and more than one of the people of Madinah mentioned this hadith to me. He said: I said: Who relates it? He said: They said: ʿĀmir b. Saʿd, and he was absent. He said: I met Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd. He said: I asked him about that, and he said: I heard Usāmah relate to Saʿd that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This disease is a defilement and a punishment, or a remnant of a punishment with which some people before you were punished – Habīb doubted it. If it occurs in a land while you are there, do not leave it, and if you hear of it in a land, do not enter it.
