Hadith 2221
وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ ، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَال : " لَا عَدْوَى " ، وَيُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ " ، قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُهُمَا كِلْتَيْهِمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ صَمَتَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ : لَا عَدْوَى ، وَأَقَامَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصح ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : قَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ تُحَدِّثُنَا مَعَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ حَدِيثًا آخَرَ قَدْ سَكَتَّ عَنْهُ ، كُنْتَ تَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا عَدْوَى " ، فَأَبَى أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : " لَا يُورِدُ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ " ، فَمَا رَآهُ الْحَارِثُ فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى غَضِبَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَرَطَنَ بِالْحَبَشِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ لِلْحَارِثِ : أَتَدْرِي مَاذَا قُلْتُ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : قُلْتُ أَبَيْتُ ، قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : وَلَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا عَدْوَى " ، فَلَا أَدْرِي أَنَسِيَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَة أَوْ نَسَخَ أَحَدُ الْقَوْلَيْنِ الْآخَرَ
Abu Salama bin 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no transitive disease, but he is also reported to have said: A sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Abu Salama said that Abu Hurairah (RA) used to narrate these two (different ahadith) from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but afterwards Abu Hurairah (RA) became silent on these words: "There is no transitive disease," but he stuck to this that the sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Harith bin Abu Dhubab (and he was the first cousin of Abu Hurairah (RA) ) said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , I used to hear from you that you narrated to us along with this hadith and the other one also (there is no transitive disease), but now you observe silence about it. You used to say that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: There is no transitive disease. Abu Hurairah (RA) denied having any knowledge of that, but he said that the sick camel should not be taken to the healthy one. Harith, however, did not agree with him, which irritated Abu Hurairah (RA) and he said to him some words in the Abyssinian language. He said to Harith (RA) : Do you know what I said to you? He said: No. Abu Hurairah (RA) said: I simply denied having said it. Abu Salama sad: By my life, Abu Hurairah (RA) in fact used to report Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said: There is no transitive disease. I do not know whether Abu Hurairah (RA) has forgotten it or he deemed it an abrogated statement in the light of the other one.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Lā yuridu mumarriḍun ‘alā muṣiḥ:
Mumarriḍ,
The owner of sick camels.
(2)
Muṣiḥ:
The one who owns healthy camels,
Here, the object is omitted,
i.e., ablah:
That the owner of sick camels should not take his camels to the one who owns healthy camels.
Benefits and Issues:
There is no contradiction between these two hadiths,
As we have already explained at the beginning,
Therefore, the question of abrogation (naskh and mansukh) does not arise, and the hadith of "no contagion" (lā ‘adwā) is also transmitted from Sa’ib bin Yazid,
Jabir bin Abdullah,
Anas bin Malik, and Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhum),
Therefore, Abu Hurairah’s forgetting does not affect the authenticity of this hadith, and according to the majority of scholars, if a narrator forgets a narration, its authenticity cannot be denied, and Abu Hurairah’s forgetting one or two narrations
Does not contradict his claim that, as a result of the supplication of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), he did not forget any hadith,
Because among thousands of hadiths, forgetting one or two narrations is not surprising,
Nor does it affect his claim.
Moreover, he later remembered them as well, because he had all his hadiths written down.

Benefits and Issues:
The wisdom in this prohibition is that if, by Allah’s command, the healthy camels contract the disease, then a doubt may arise in the owner’s heart that this illness was caused by grazing the healthy camels together with the sick ones or by letting them drink water with them. Therefore, for the protection of faith, one should avoid any action that may give rise to doubts contrary to the correct creed.
