Musnad Ahmed

11. 'Hadeeth of Abu ''Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah

مسند احمد

1697

|Da'if (Darussalam) []

It was narrated from Shahr bin Hawshab al-Ash"ari, from Rabbih,

a man from among his people who married Shahr"s mother after his father died, that he witnessed the plague of ‘Amwas. He said: When the epidemic grew severe, Abu "Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah stood up to address the people and said: O people, this epidemic is a mercy from your Lord and the answer to the prayer of your Prophet (ﷺ), and this is how the righteous before you died. Abu "Ubaidah is asking Allah to give him his share of it. Then he got the plague and died, may Allah have mercy on hinn. Mu"adh bin Jabal succeeded him as the people"s leader and stood up to address them after he died. He said: O people, this epidemic is a mercy from your Lord and the answer to the prayer of your Prophet (ﷺ), and this is how the righteous before you died. Mu"adh is asking Allah to grant a share of it to the family of Mu"adh. Then his son "AbdurRahman bin Mu"adh got the plague and died. Then he asked his Lord for his own share of it, and [symptoms of the plague] appeared on his hand. I saw him looking at it, then he turned his hand over, then he said [to his hand]: I would not like to have anything in this world in return for what you have got. When he died, "Amr bin al-"As succeeded him as the people"s leader. He stood up to address them and said: O people, if this epidemic breaks out, then it will spread like wildfire, so flee from it to the mountains. Abu Wathilah al-Hudhali said to him: You are lying, by Allah. I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when you were no better than this donkey of mine. He said: By Allah, I will not respond to what you said. By Allah, we will never stay with it. Then he went out and the people went out and scattered from him, and Allah warded it off from them. News of "Amr"s opinion reached "Umar bin al-Khattab and by Allah he did not dislike it. Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman "Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said: Aban bin Salih was the grandfather of Abu ‘AbdurRahman Mushkudanah.
