Home Hadith Hadith 3327
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Plague was a means of torture sent on a group of Israelis (or on some people
before you). So if you hear of its spread in a land, don't approach it, and if a plague should appear in a
land where you are present, then don't leave that land in order to run away from it (i.e. plague).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 140
← Previous Hadith
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A man bought a piece of land from another man, and the buyer found an
earthenware jar filled with gold in the land. The buyer said to the seller. 'Take your gold, as I have
bought only the land from you, but I have not bought the gold from you.' The (former) owner of the
land said, "I have sold you the land with everything in it.' So both of them took their case before a
man who asked, 'Do you have children?' One of them said, "I have a boy.' The other said, "I have a
girl.' The man said, 'Marry the girl to the boy and spend the money on both of them and give the rest
of it in charity.'"

(the wife of the Prophet) I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the plague. He told me that it was a
Punishment sent by Allah on whom he wished, and Allah made it a source of mercy for the believers,
for if one in the time of an epidemic plague stays in his country patiently hoping for Allah's Reward
and believing that nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, he will get the
reward of a martyr."
