( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؓ:
أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ، فَقَالَتْ: حَدَّثَنِي نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ: أَنَّهُ عَذَابٌ، يَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ، فَجَعَلَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَلَيْسَ عَبْدٌ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ، فَيُقِيمُ بِبَلَدِهِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا، يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَهُ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ، إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ شَهِيدٍ

That she asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the plague, and she said: The Prophet of Allah ﷺ told me that it is a punishment which Allah sends upon whom He wills, and that He made it a mercy for the believers. So there is no servant upon whom the plague falls, and who remains in his town out of faith and seeking reward, knowing that nothing will befall him except what Allah has decreed for him, but that he will have a reward like that of a martyr.
