وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ كَانَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَسَعْدٌ جَالِسَيْنِ يَتَحَدَّثَانِ فَقَالاَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِهِمْ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2218k
This entry reports that Ibrahim b. Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas said Usama b. Zaid and Sa'd were sitting together and discussing, and they both stated a Hadith from Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم similar to the earlier reports. The brief wording points to the same plague guidance: the outbreak is treated as a serious calamity, and people are told not to enter a land where it has appeared and not to flee from a land where they already are. Searches such as plague hadith, quarantine hadith Islam, and do not enter plague land hadith fit the topic. Because this narration is short and focuses on the setting of transmission, the explanation should not add details not present in the text. It highlights shared reporting and the same basic instruction.
What we learn from this hadith
- Do not enter a land after hearing that plague has broken out there.
- If plague breaks out where someone already is, the report says not to flee from it.
- The Hadith describes plague as a calamity or punishment linked to earlier people.
- The teaching encourages careful movement and steadiness during a serious outbreak.
