Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 274
Musnad Abī ʿAsīb, freedman of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ (may Allah be pleased with him)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ أَبُو نُصَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَسِيبٍ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ بِالْحُمَّى وَالطَّاعُونِ، فَأَمْسَكْتُ الْحُمَّى بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ الطَّاعُونَ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ لِأُمَّتِي وَرَحْمَةٌ، وَرِجْسٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِ
Translation
Abū ʿAsīb, freedman of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ (may Allah be pleased with him), reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ said: “Jibrīl came to me with fever and plague; I retained fever in Madīnah and sent the plague to al-Shām. So the plague is martyrdom for my ummah and a mercy [for the believer], but a punishment upon the disbeliever.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 274
