Arabic text

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنِ الْوَبَاءِ يَكُونُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمِصْرِ فَيَتَحَوَّلُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى أَوْ يَكُونُ فِي مِصْرٍ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَنْ ذَلِكَ لِمَكَانِ رَبِيئَةٍ كَانَتْ بِحِيَالِ الْعَدُوِّ فَوَقَعَ فِيهِمُ الْوَبَاءُ فَهَرَبُوا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْفَارُّ مِنْهُ كَالْفَارِّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَخْلُوَ مَرَاكِزُهُمْ.

Translation

85. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hammaad Bin Usmaan, from Al-Halby, who has narrated the following: He said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about the epidemic which was spreading in the area around Egypt. Shall the man turn to another area or if he is in Egypt so he should exit from it to somewhere else’. He (asws) said: ‘There is no problem with it. However, the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) Prohibited the residence of the a hill who were facing the enemies, when there was a plague among them, (they started) to flee from it. So the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) said: ‘To flee from it is like fleeing from the march (of the enemy army). He (saww) abhorred that they should empty their positions’.
