for Syria. As he came at Sargh (a town by the side of
Hijaz on the way to Syria), there met him the commander of
the forces, Abu Ubaida b. Jandb, and his companions. They
informed him that a scourge had broken out in Syria. Ibn
'Abbas further reported that 'Umar said: Call to me tile
earliest emigrants. So I called them. He (Hadrat 'Umar)
sought their advice, and they told him that the scourge
had broker, out in Syria. There was a difference of
opinion (whether they should proceed further or go back to
their homes in such a situation). Some of them said: You
('Umar) have set forth for a task, and, therefore, we
would not advise you to go back, whereas some of them
said: You have along with you the remnants (of the sacred
galaxy) of men and (the blessed) Companions of Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him), so we would not advise
you to go forth towards this calamity (with such eminent
persons and thus expose them deliberately to a danger). He
(Hadrat 'Umar) said: You can now go away. He said: Call to
me the Ansar. So I called them to him, and he consulted
them, and they trod the same path as was trodden by the
Muhajirin, and they differed in their opinions as they had
differed. He said: Now, you can go. He again said: Call to
me the old persons of the Quraish who had migrated before
the Victory (that is the Victory of Mecca), so I called
them (and Hadrat 'Umar consulted them) and not even two
persons differed (from the opinion held by the earlier
delegates). They said: Our opinion is that you better go
back along with the people and do not make them go to this
scourge, So 'Umar made announcement to the people: In the
morning I would be on the back of my side. So they (set
forth in the morning), whereupon Abu 'Ubaida b. Jarrah
said: Are you going to run away from the Divine Decree?
Thereupon 'Umar said: Had it been someone else to say this
besides you! 'Umar (in fact) did not approve of his
opposing (this decision) and he said: Yes, we are running
from the Divine Decree (to the) Divine Decree. You should
think if there had been camels for you and you happened to
get down in a valley having two sides, one of them covered
with verdure and the other being barren, would you not (be
doing) according to the Divine Decree if you graze them in
verdure? And in case you graze them in the barren land
(even then you would be grazing them) according to the
Divine Decree.
There happened to come 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Auf and he
had been absent in connection with some of his needs. He
said: I have with me a knowledge of it, that I heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: If
you hear of its presence (the presence of plague) in a
land, don't enter it, but if it spreads in the land where
you are, don't fly from it. Thereupon 'Umar b. Khattab
praised Allah and then went back?
Book 026, Number 5505:
This hadith has been reported on the authority of
Ma'mar with the same chain of transmitters but with this
addition:" Do you think that he would graze in the barren
land but would abandon the green land? Would you not
attribute it to be a failing on his part? He said: Yes. He
said: Then proceed. And he moved on until he came to
Medina. And he said to me: This is the right place, or he
said: That is the destination if Allah so wills." This
hadith has been transmitted on the authority of 'Abdullah
b. Harith with a slight variation of wording.
Book 026, Number 5506:
'Amir b. Rabi'ah reported: 'Umar went to Syria and as
he came to Sargh, information was given to him that an
epidemic had broken out in Syria. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Auf
narrated to him that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) had said: When you hear of its presence in a land,
don't move towards it, and when it breaks out in a land
and you are therein, then don't run away from it. So 'Umar
b. Khattab came back from Sargh. Salim b. 'Abdullah
reported that 'Umar went back, along with people on
hearing the hadith reported on the authority of 'Abd
al-Rahman b. 'Auf.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: There is no infection, no safar, no
hama. A desert Arab said: Allah's Messenger, how is it
that when the camel is in the sand it is like a deer-then
a camel afflicted with scab mixes with it and it is
affected by sub? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Who infected
the first one?
Book 026, Number 5508:

A sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy.
Abu Salama said that Abu Huraira used to narrate these two
(different ahadith) from Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him), but afterwards Abu Huraira 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 b. Abu Dhubab (and he was the
first cousin of Abu Huraira) said: Abu Huraira, 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 (may peace be upon him)
said: There is no transitive disease. Abu Huraira 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
Huraira and he said to him some words in the Abyssinian
language. He said to Harith: Do you know what I said to
you? He said: No. Abu Huraira said: I simply denied having
said it. Abu Salama sad: By my life, Abu Huraira in fact
used to report Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
having said: There is no transitive disease. I do not know
whether Abu Huraira has forgotten it or he deemed it an
abrogated statement in the light of the other one.

Zubair say: Jabir explained for them the word safar. Abu
Zubair said: safar means belly. It was said to Jabir: Why
is it so? He said that it was held that safar implied the
worms of the belly, but he gave no explanation of ghoul.
Abu Zubair said: Ghoul is that which kills the travellers.

whose lines agree with his line for him it is allowable.
Book 026, Number 5535:
'A'isha reported: I said: Allah's Messenger, the kahins
used to tell us about things (unseen) and we found them to
be true. Thereupon he said: That is a word pertaining to
truth which a jinn snatches and throws into the ear of his
friend, and makes an addition of one hundred lies to it.
Book 026, Number 5536:
'Urwa reported from 'A'isha that she said that people
asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about the
kahins. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to
them: It is nothing (i. e. it is a mere superstition).
They said: Allah's Messenger, they at times narrate to us
things which we find true. Thereupon Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) said: That is a word pertaining to
truth which a jinn snatches away and then cackles into the

who was amongst the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) reported to me: As we were sitting
during the night with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him), a meteor shot gave a dazzling light. Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: What did you say
in the pre-Islamic days when there was such a shot (of
meteor)? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best (the
actual position), but we, however, used to say that that
very night a great man had been born and a great man had
died, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: (These meteors) are shot neither at the death of
anyone nor on the birth of anyone. Allah, the Exalted and
Glorious, issues Command when He decides to do a thing.
Then (the Angels) supporting the Throne sing His glory,
then sing the dwellers of heaven who are near to them
until this glory of God reaches them who are in the heaven
of this world. Then those who are near the supporters of
the Throne ask these supporters of the Throne: What your
Lord has said? And they accordingly inform them what He
says. Then the dwellers of heaven seek information from
them until this information reaches the heaven of the
world. In this process of transmission (the jinn snatches)
what he manages to overhear and he carries it to his
friends. And when the Angels see the jinn they attack them
with meteors. If they narrate only which they manage to
snatch that is correct but they alloy it with lies and
make additions to it.

people around him): Pursue this snake and kill it. Abu
Lubaba Ansari said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him). He forbade the killing of snakes found in
the houses except the short-tailed snakes and those having
streaks upon them, for both of them obliterate eyesight
and affect that which is in the wombs of (pregnant) women.

Book 026, Number 5557:
Abu as-Sa'ib, the freed slaved of Hisham b. Zuhra, said
that he visited Abu Sa'id Khudri in his house, (and he
further) said: I found him saying his prayer, so I sat
down waiting for him to finish his prayer when I heard a
stir in the bundles (of wood) lying in a comer of the
house. I looked towards it and found a snake. I jumped up
in order to kill it, but he (Abu Sa'id Khudri) made a
gesture that I should sit down. So I sat down and as he
finished (the prayer) he pointed to a room in the house
and said: Do you see this room? I said: Yes. He said:
There was a young man amongst us who had been newly
wedded. We went with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) (to participate in the Battle) of Trench when a young
man in the midday used to seek permission from Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) to return to his family.
One day he sought permission from him and Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) (after granting him the
permission) said to him: Carry your weapons with you for I
fear the tribe of Quraiza (may harm you). The man carried
the weapons and then came back and found his wife standing
between the two doors. He bent towards her smitten by
jealousy and made a dash towards her with a spear in order
to stab her. She said: Keep your spear away and enter the
house until you see that which has made me come out. He
entered and found a big snake coiled on the bedding. He
darted with the spear and pierced it and then went out
having fixed it in the house, but the snake quivered and
attacked him and no one knew which of them died first, the
snake or the young man. We came to Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) and made a mention to him and said:
Supplicate to Allah that that (man) may be brought back to
life. Thereupon he said: Ask forgiveness for your
companion and then said: There are in Medina jinns who
have accepted Islam, so when you see any one of them,
pronounce a warning to it for three days, and if they
appear before you after that, then kill it for that is a
devil.

as-Sa'ib having said: We visited Abu Sa'id Khudri. When we
had been sitting (with him) we heard a stir under his bed.

hadith is the same. And in this Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) is reported to have said: Verily in
these houses there live aged (snakes), so when you see one
of them, make life hard for it for three days, and if it
goes away (well and good), otherwise kill it for (in that
case) it would be a nonbeliever. And he (the Holy Prophet)
said (to his Companions): Go and bury your companion (who
had died by the snake bite).

Chapter 38: THE MERIT OF SUPPLYING WATER AND FOOD
TO ANIMALS
Book 026, Number 5577:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as sayings: A person suffered from intense
thirst while on a journey, when he found a well. He
climbed down into it and drank (water) and then came out
and saw a dog lolling its tongue on account of thirst and
eating the moistened earth. The person said: This dog has
suffered from thirst as I had suffered from it. He climbed
down into the well, filled his shoe with water, then
caught it in his mouth until he climbed up and made the
dog drink it. So Allah appreciated this act of his and
pardoned him. Then (the Companions around him) said:
Allah's Messenger, is there for us a reward even for
(serving) such animals? He said: Yes, there is a reward
for service to every living animal.
Book 026, Number 5578:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may pace be
upon him) as saying: A prostitute saw a dog moving around
a well on a hot day and hanging out its tongue because of
thirst. She drew water for it in her shoe and she was
pardoned (for this act of hers).
Book 026, Number 5579:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: There was a dog moving around a well
whom thirst would have killed. Suddenly a prostitute from
the prostitutes of Bani Isra'il happened to see it and she
drew water in her shoe and made it drink, and she was
pardoned because of this.
