Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam ‘ala Rasulillah
Narrated ‘Aisha (Radi-Allahu ‘anha):
(the
wife of the Prophet) that she asked Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi
Wa Sallam) about plague, and Allah’s Apostle (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa
Sallam) informed her saying, “Plague was a punishment which Allah used
to send on whom He wished, but Allah made it a blessing for the
believers. The believers who remain patient in a land in which plague
has broken out and consider that nothing will befall him except what
Allah has ordained for him, Allah will grant him a reward similar to
that of a martyr.”
