وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:

قَلَّ الْجَرَادُ فِي سَنَةٍ مِنْ سِنِي عُمَرَ ؓ الَّتِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يُخْبَرْ بِشَيْءٍ فَاغْتَمَّ لِذَلِكَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَاكِبًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، وَرَاكِبًا إِلَى الشَّامِ، وَرَاكِبًا إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ، فَسَأَلَ: هَلْ رُوِيَ مِنَ الْجَرَادِ شَيْءٌ أَمْ لَا ؟ فَأَتَاهُ الرَّاكِبُ الَّذِي مِنْ قِبَلِ الْيَمَنِ بِقَبْضَةٍ مِنْ جَرَادٍ فَأَلْقَاهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: خَلَقَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَلْفَ أُمَّةٍ، مِنْهَا سِتُّمِائَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ، وَأَرْبَعُ مِائَةٍ فِي الْبَرِّ، فَأَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ يَهْلَكُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْجَرَادُ، فَإِذَا هَلَكَتْ تَتَابَعَتْ مِثْلَ النِّظَامِ إِذَا انْقَطَعَ سِلْكُهُ

✧ Locusts became scarce in one of the years in which 'Umar ؓ governed. He asked about them and was not informed of anything, so he grieved over that. He sent a rider to Yemen, a rider to Syria, and a rider to Iraq, asking whether any locusts had been seen or not. The rider from Yemen came to him with a handful of locusts and threw them before him. When he saw them, he said 'Allahu Akbar' three times, then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created a thousand nations, six hundred of them in the sea and four hundred on land. The first thing to perish from these nations is the locust. When they perish, the rest will follow in succession like a string of beads when its thread is cut.'
