Sayyidah Aishah al-Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will perish only through ta'n and plague." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we know ta'n; what is the plague?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a gland-swelling like the gland-swelling of a camel. The one who stays in the plague will be like a martyr, and the one who flees from it will be like one who flees from the battlefield."
Ahmad, Abu Ya'la and al-Tabarani in al-Awsat recorded it.
