Al-Muwatta de Malik, 1620

Abdallah Ibn Amer a rapporté que Omar Ibn Al-Khattab quittant pour Châm (Syrie) et arrivant à Sargh, on lui apprit que la peste est dans ce pays. Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf lui rapporta que l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) a dit: «une fois que vous apprenez que la peste y est dans un pays, n'y entrez plus. Et si cette maladie attaque le pays où vous vous trouvez, ne quittez pas le pays, afin de la fuir»

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia that Umar ibn al-Khattab went out to ash-Sham. When he came to Sargh, near Tabuk, he heard that the plague had broken out in ash-Sham. Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If you hear that a land has a plague in it, do not go forward to it. If it comes upon a land which you are in, do not depart in flight from it." Umar ibn al- Khattab came back from Sargh
