أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَا: ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الذُّهْلِيُّ، ثَنَا 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 ﷺ قَالَ: إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ، فَلَا تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا، فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ. فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ مِنْ سَرْغَ

ʿUmar (may God be pleased with him) set out for Syria. When he reached Sargh, news reached him that the plague had broken out in Syria. Then ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf informed him that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "When you hear of it in a land, do not go to it; and when it breaks out in a land while you are in it, do not leave it to flee from it." So ʿUmar turned back from Sargh.
