A person asked Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas about the plague, whereupon Usama bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ said: I would inform you about it. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: It is a calamity or a disease which Allah sent to a group of Bani Isra'il, or to the people who were before you; so when you hear of it in land, don't enter it and when it has broken out in your land, don't run away from it.
