Riyad as-Salihin: Book 0, Hadith 33

‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about pestilence and he said, “It is a punishment which Allah sends upon whomsoever He wills, but Allah has made it as a mercy to the believers. Anyone who remains in a town which is plagued with pestilence maintaining patience expecting the reward from Allah, and knowing that nothing will befall him other than what Allah has foreordained for him, he would receive a reward of Shaheed”..

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها أنها سألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الطاعون، فأخبرها أنه كان عذاباً يبعثه الله تعالى على من يشاء، فجعله الله تعالى رحمة للمؤمنين، فليس من عبد يقع في الطاعون فيمكث في بلده صابراً محتسباً يعلم أنه لا يصيبه إلا ما كتب الله له إلا كان له مثل أجر الشهيد‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

The above hadith is from the Riyad as-Salihin collection of hadiths. Imam al-Nawawi’s Riyad as-Salihin is a classic hadith anthology organized into 20 books. Its creation was a profound scholarly effort spanning 44 years, culminating in a curated selection of about 1,900 narrations. The title, meaning “The Gardens of the Righteous,” reflects its spiritual and ethical content.
