It is narrated from one of the cousins of Hazrat Usama bin Zaid, whose name was Iyad, and who was also married to the daughter of Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him), that once a man was mentioned before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who had come from a fertile region. When he reached near Madinah Munawwarah, he was overtaken by an epidemic. Hearing this, people became fearful, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I hope that this epidemic will exit through the holes of Madinah Munawwarah and will not reach us.
