Hadith 2014
This hadith is listed as number 5256 in Maktaba Shamila
وحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّ فِي السَّنَةِ يَوْمًا يَنْزِلُ فِيهِ وَبَاءٌ وَزَادَ فِي آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ اللَّيْثُ : فَالْأَعَاجِمُ عِنْدَنَا يَتَّقُونَ ذَلِكَ فِي كَانُونَ الْأَوَّلِ .
This hadith is reported on the authority of Laith bin Sa'd with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation in wording (and that is that) he (the Holy Prophet) said: There is a day in a year when descends the pestilence; at the end of the hadith Laith said that the non Arabs save themselves from it in Kanun Awwal (this is the month of December).
