"عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حُلَبْسٍ قَالَ: نَزَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْجَابِيَةَ وَهُمْ أَرْبَعَة وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا، فَوَقَعَ الطَّاعُونُ فِيهِمْ، فَذَهَبَ مِنْهُمْ عِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا وَبَقِىَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلافٍ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا طَوفَانُ، وَهَذَا رِجْزٌ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مُعَاذًا فَبَعَثَوا فَوَارِثَ () يَجْمَعُونَ النَّاس، قَالَ: اشْهَدُوا الْمَدَارسَ الْيَوْمَ عِنْدَ مُعَاذٍ، فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَامَ فِيهِمْ، فَقَالَ: يَأَيَّهَا النَّاسُ! وَاللهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّى أَقُومُ فِيكُمْ بَعْدَ مُقَامِى هَذَا مَا تكَلَّفْتُ القيامَ القِيَامِ فِيكُمْ، وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِى أَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ هَذَا الَّذِى وَقَعَ فِيكُمْ طُوفَانٌ وَرِجْزٌ، وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ طُوفَانٌ وَلا رِجْزٌ، وَإِنَّمَا الطُّوفَانُ وَالرِّجْزُ كَانَ عَذَابًا عَذَّبَ اللهُ بِهِ الأُمَمَ، وَلَكِنْ فِى الدُّنْيَا اللهُ لَكُمْ وَاسْتَجَاب لَكُمْ دَعْوَةَ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ أَلَا فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ خَمْسًا وَاسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَلْيَمُتْ: أَنْ يَكْفُرَ الرَّجُلُ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِ، وَأَنْ يُسْفَكَ الدَّمُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، وَأَنْ يُعْطَى مَالَ اللهِ بِأَنْ يَكْذِبَ وَيَفْجُرَ وَأَنْ يَظْهَرَ التَلاعُنُ بَيْنَكُمْ، وَأَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ: وَاللهِ لئِنْ حَيِيتُ أَوْ مُتُّ مَا أَدْرِى مَا أَنَا عَلَيْهِ".

"From Yūnus b. Maysarah b. Ḥalbas, who said: The Muslims encamped at al-Jābiyah, and they were twenty-four thousand. The plague struck them, and twenty thousand of them perished and four thousand remained. They said: This is a flood (ṭūfān), and this is a punishment (rijz). That reached Muʿādh, so they sent out riders [unclear] to gather the people, and he said: Attend the places of study today with Muʿādh. When they had gathered, he stood among them and said: O people! By God, if I knew that I would stand among you after this standing of mine, I would not have troubled myself to stand among you. It has reached me that you say: What has befallen you is a flood and a punishment. By God, it is neither a flood nor a punishment. The flood and the punishment were only a torment with which God tormented the nations. But in this world God [unclear] for you and answered for you the supplication of your Prophet ﷺ. Beware! Whoever reaches five things and is able to die, let him die: that a man disbelieves after his faith; that blood is shed unjustly; that the wealth of God is given in return for lying and immorality; that cursing one another becomes open among you; and that a man says when he rises in the morning: By God, whether I live or die, I do not know what I stand upon."
