I have come to know that the Holy Prophet (sws) said that a  person living in an infected area should not leave it. A person dying of  contagious disease enjoys the death of a martyr. What do you say about  the soundness of this narrative? Please explain with the help of other  narratives.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The narrative you have cited above relates to plague. It has been reported in different <em>h\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em> books. I will copy the text of the narrative from Sahih of Bukhari. <\/p>\n<p>Sa\u2018d  (rta) narrates that the Holy Prophet (sws) said: you should not go to  an area where plague has broken out. And if you are in such an area, you  must not leave it.&#8221; (No: 5396)<\/p>\n<p>This  narrative has been recorded in Sahih of Muslim as well. We can say that  it is a sound narrative. There are some other narratives related from  the Holy Prophet (sws) in many <em>H\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em> books in this regard.A couple of them are being reproduced hereunder<\/p>\n<p>Abu  Hurayrah (rta) narrates that the Holy Prophet (sws) said: There is no  contagious disease, nor there is any bad luck. The soul of a murdered  does not become a thirsty bird. There is no animal that causes hunger.  Run from a leprous like you do at the sight of a lion. (No: 5380)<\/p>\n<p>Imam Muslim has mentioned a question on the first part of this narrative with the response of the Holy Prophet (sws). <\/p>\n<p>(After  hearing him) a Bedouin asked: What is your opinion about the camels  that are hale and healthy like deer in a desert then an itchy camel  comes and makes all the camels ill from itching. The Holy Prophet (sws)  said: who made the first suffer from itching?&#8221;(No:2220)<\/p>\n<p>It  seems that the Holy Prophet (sws) wanted to clarify that every  infectious disease takes place in accordance with Allah&#8217;s will. <\/p>\n<p><em>Translated by: Abid Mahmood Hashmi<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Talib Mohsin<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-26<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6440\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has  anything been reported from the Holy Prophet (sws) regarding contagious  diseases?
