حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ أَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَامَ فِي الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ وَقَعَ الْوَبَاءُ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذِهِ رَحْمَةُ رَبُّكُمْ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَوَفَاةُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ مُعَاذُ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ «اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْ عَلَى آلِ مُعَاذٍ نَصِيبَهُمُ الْأَوْفَى مِنْ هَذِهِ الرَّحْمَةِ» فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أُتِيَ فَقِيلَ طُعِنَ ابْنُكَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَى أَبَاهُ مُعَاذًا قَالَ يَقُولُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَا أَبَتِ {الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ} [البقرة 147] قَالَ يَقُولُ مُعَاذٌ {سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ} [الصافات 102] فَمَاتَ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ آلُ مُعَاذٍ كُلُّهُمْ ثُمَّ كَانَ هُوَ آخِرَهُمْ

✧ Mu'adh b. Jabal stood among the army under his command when the plague struck and said: "O people, this is a mercy from your Lord, the supplication of your Prophet, and the death of the righteous before you." Then Mu'adh said while delivering a sermon: "O Allah, grant the family of Mu'adh their fullest share of this mercy." While he was so, someone came and said: "Your son 'Abd al-Rahman has been stricken." When 'Abd al-Rahman saw his father Mu'adh, he said: "O father, {The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among the doubters} [al-Baqarah 147]." Mu'adh said: {You will find me, if Allah wills, among the patient} [al-Saffat 102]. Then from one Friday to the next, the entire family of Mu'adh died, and he was the last of them.
