Sahih Muslim #5966

The Book of Virtues
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ، عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَحَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ مَعَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ شُعَيْبًا قَالَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ أُمَّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ قَالَتْ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ ‏.‏
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri with a slight variation of wording.

Context

This hadith discusses the plague as a divine calamity that was inflicted upon previous communities, including the Children of Israel. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advises against fleeing from an area afflicted by plague or entering a new area where it has spread. This guidance underscores the significance of patience and trust in divine wisdom during times of crisis.

Modern Application

In modern times, this principle can be seen in public health responses to outbreaks. People are encouraged to follow health guidelines, such as quarantine and vaccination, rather than panic or flee, which can lead to further spread of disease.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Divine Decree and Prophetic Teachings because it reflects the understanding of calamities as part of God's plan and provides practical guidance from the Prophet ﷺ on how to respond.

And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished.
