بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الطَّاعُونِWhat is reported about the plague
Hadith 1617
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : بَلَغَنِي، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ : " لَبَيْتٌ بِرُكْبَةَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ عَشَرَةِ أَبْيَاتٍ بِالشَّامِ " . قَالَ مَالِك : يُرِيدُ لِطُولِ الْأَعْمَارِ وَالْبَقَاءِ وَلِشِدَّةِ الْوَبَإِ بِالشَّامِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was informed that Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said that a house in Rukbah (Rukbah is a place between Umrah and Dhat Irq) is more beloved to me than ten houses in Sham (Syria).
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This was because there was an epidemic in Sham, and there was no illness in Rukbah; there, there was hope for a long life.
