Sayyidina Usamah ibn Zayd (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) mentioned plague and said, “It is the remnant of the punishment sent to a section of the Banu Israil. When it occurs in a land and you are there, do not go away from there, and if it occurs in a land and you are not there then do not descend into it.”
[Bukhari 3473, Muslim 2218]
