وَعَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ رَابِّهِ ، رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ كَانَ خَلَفَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ بَعْدَ أَبِيهِ كَانَ شَهِدَ طَاعُونَ عَمُوَاسَ قَالَ : لَمَّا اشْتَغَلَ الْوَجَعُ قَامَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ فِي النَّاسِ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ رَحْمَةُ رَبِّكُمْ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَمَوْتُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، وَإِنَّ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - أَنْ يَقْسِمَ لَهُ مِنْهُ حَظَّهُ قَالَ : فَطُعِنَ فَمَاتَ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - وَاسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا بَعْدَهُ فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ رَحْمَةُ رَبِّكُمْ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَمَوْتُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، وَإِنَّ مُعَاذًا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَقْسِمَ لِآلِ مُعَاذٍ مِنْهُ حَظَّهُ قَالَ : فَطُعِنَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُهُ فَمَاتَ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ لِنَفْسِهِ فَطُعِنَ فِي رَاحَتِهِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ - ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ يُقَبِّلُ ظَهْرَ كَفِّهِ يَقُولُ : مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِمَا فِيكِ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمَّا مَاتَ اسْتُخْلِفَ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ ، فَقَامَ فِينَا خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْوَجَعَ إِذَا وَقَعَ إِنَّمَا يَشْتَعِلُ اشْتِعَالَ النَّارِ فَتَجَبَّلُوا مِنْهُ فِي الْجِبَالِ فَقَالَ أَبُو وَائِلَةَ الْهُذَلِيُّ : كَذَبْتَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَنْتَ شَرٌّ مِنْ حِمَارِي هَذَا ! ! قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ مَا تَقُولُ - وَايْمُ اللَّهِ - لَا نُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَتَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ وَدَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - مِنْ رَأْيِ عَمْرٍو فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كَرِهَهُ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَشَهْرٌ فِيهِ كَلَامٌ ، وَشَيْخُهُ لَمْ يُسَمَّ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَشَهْرٌ فِيهِ كَلَامٌ ، وَشَيْخُهُ لَمْ يُسَمَّ .
Shahr bin Hawshab al-Ash'ari narrates from his stepfather, a man from his tribe who had married his mother after his father, and who had been present at the plague of Amwas. He narrates: When the affliction spread, Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood among the people to deliver a sermon, and said: "O people, indeed this affliction is the mercy of your Lord, the supplication of your Prophet, and the cause of the death of the righteous before you." Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) supplicated to Allah Almighty that He grant him his share of this affliction. The narrator says: He was struck by the plague and he too passed away, may Allah Almighty have mercy on him. After that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal became the leader of the people. Then he addressed the people and said: "O people, this affliction is the mercy of your Lord, the supplication of your Prophet, and the means of the death of the righteous before you." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) supplicated to Allah Almighty that He grant the family of Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) their share of this affliction. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Mu'adh's (may Allah be pleased with him) son Abd al-Rahman was struck by the plague and passed away. Then Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) stood and supplicated to his Lord for himself, and the plague (its mark) appeared in his palm. The narrator says: I saw him looking at that mark and then kissing the back of his hand, saying: "I would not like to have anything of this world in exchange for you." When he passed away, Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed leader of the people. He stood among us to deliver a sermon and said: "O people, when this affliction occurs, it spreads the way fire spreads, so leave it and scatter into the various mountains." Sayyiduna Abu Wa'ilah al-Hudhali said: "You are wrong. By Allah, I kept the company of the Messenger of Allah, and you are worse than this donkey." Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, I will not answer you regarding what you are saying; by Allah, we will not stay in this place." Then Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) left from there, and some people also went with him. They left that place and scattered here and there, and Allah Almighty kept them safe from the plague. The narrator says: When news reached Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) of Sayyiduna Amr's (may Allah be pleased with him) position, by Allah, he did not disapprove of it.
