"عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَب، قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ مُعاذٌ تَكَلّمَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْسَةَ - أيْضًا - فيمَنْ يَلِيهِ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: أَنَا رَابِعُ الإِسْلاَم، فَقَالَ: يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّاعُونَ رجْزٌ فَتَفَرّقُوا عَنْهُ فِى الشِّعابِ. فَقَامَ شُرَحْبيلُ بْنُ حَسَنَةَ، فَقَالَ: وَالله لَقَدْ أسْلَمْتُ وَإنَّ أمِيرَكُمْ () هَذَا أضَلُّ منْ جَمَل أَهْلِهِ، فَانْظُروا مَا يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ. إِذَا وَقَعَ (الطاعون ( ) بِأَرْض وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا، فَلاَ (تَهربُوا فَإِنَّ) ( ) المَوْتَ في أَعْنَاقكُمْ، وَإِذَا كَانَ بِأرْضٍ، فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوها فَإِنَّهُ يَحْرِقُ القُلُوبَ".

"From Shahr b. Ḥawshab, who said: When Muʿādh died, ʿAmr b. ʿAbasah also spoke among those who were with him, and he used to say: I am the fourth in Islam. He said: O people, this plague is a punishment (rijz), so scatter from it into the mountain paths. Then Shuraḥbīl b. Ḥasanah stood up and said: By Allah, I accepted Islam while this governor of yours () was more astray than the camel of his family, so look at what he says: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When the plague occurs in a land while you are in it, do not flee, for death is at your necks; and when it is in a land, do not enter it, for it burns the hearts."
