Hadith 7806
اُردوEn
عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَدَوِيَّةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَفْنَى أُمَّتِي إِلَّا بِالطَّعْنِ وَالطَّاعُونِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا الطَّعْنُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا الطَّاعُونُ قَالَ غُدَّةٌ كَغُدَّةِ الْبَعِيرِ الْمُقِيمُ بِهَا كَالشَّهِيدِ وَالْفَارُّ مِنْهَا كَالْفَارِّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Ummah will be destroyed by slander and plague. I said: O Messenger of Allah! We know about slander, but what is meant by plague? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In plague, a swelling appears on a person's neck like the swelling on a camel's neck. Whoever remains steadfast during this plague is like a martyr, and whoever flees from it is like one who flees from the battlefield.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these ahadith it is established that if one remains patiently in a place where plague has broken out, he will receive the reward of a martyr. If he flees from there, the sin is as great as that of one who flees from the battlefield, whereas fleeing from the battlefield is a major sin (kabirah). Therefore, fleeing from a plague-stricken area will also be considered a major sin (kabirah).
