(Third chain) Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned something about the plague at the end of his sermon and said: It is a punishment like a flood; whoever escapes its reach, it will pass over him, and it is like fire; whoever stays away from it, it will go beyond him, and whoever remains in it, it will turn him to ashes, afflict him with torment. Sayyiduna Shurahbil bin Hasnah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is the supplication and mercy of your Prophet, and through it, righteous people have continued to pass away.
