From the Musnad of Abd al-Rahman bin Awf
Musnad Abi Ya'la 848 — when Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab set out
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُسَيِّبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَسَمِعَ بِالطَّاعُونِ ، فَتَكَرْكَرَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ قَدْ وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ ، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ وَأَنْتُمْ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ . فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for Syria and heard of the plague, he hesitated (to go on). Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'When you hear that it (the epidemic) has broken out in a land, do not go there; and when it breaks out while you are in that land, do not leave it to flee from it.'" So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) turned back on the basis of the hadith of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him).
