Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: The plague was mentioned before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: "The plague is a punishment which was sent down, or with it a nation from among the nations before you was punished, and it is some of its remnants. When you hear that the plague has broken out in a land, do not go there, and when it breaks out in the land where you are, do not flee from it." Muhammad bin Munkadir said: I narrated this hadith to Umar bin Abdul Aziz, so he said: 'Aamir bin Sa’d (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith to me in the same way.'
