Abu Ya'la also recorded this narration from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a stab that will afflict my Ummah from their enemies, the jinn. It is a gland-swelling like the gland-swelling of a camel. Whoever stays in it (the plague-stricken area) will be counted as one guarding the frontier (murabit), whoever dies in it will be counted as a martyr, and whoever flees from it will be like one who flees from the battlefield."
Al-Tabarani recorded something similar in al-Awsat, except that he recorded these words: "And the one who is patient in it will be like one who strives in the path of Allah."
