On the explanation of the hadith: (There is no 'adwa, no bad omen, no harm from the hama, and no harm from the month of Safar), and that there is no contradiction between it and the hadith

The Shaykh: The chapter on there being no 'adwa, no bad omen, no harm from the hama, and no harm from the month of Safar:
Many people assume that the statement: means the denial of the contagion that has been scientifically established in our time, just as the Messenger (peace be upon him) established it in his time, before this time by these long centuries; because [An-Najm 53:3-4], the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) established contagion in more than one authentic hadith. Among them is his statement (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 16:270, Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 16:270 This is exactly what doctors say today. Why does he command us to flee from the leper? So that the contagion does not occur. And he (peace be upon him) also said, and this is an authentic hadith like the first one in "Sahih al-Bukhari" and others: , and this is the quarantine known today. This is because this hadith gives us that the plague may spread to the healthy. So if a Muslim is in a land where the plague is, he should not leave, fearing that he may be afflicted with this epidemic and transmit it to the clean land. And conversely, if he is in the clean land, he should not enter the infected land because he exposes himself to being afflicted with this epidemic; for it is contagious. So many hadiths and hadiths all revolve around establishing the reality of contagion. When we come to the first hadith, which is his statement (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): ; we should not understand it on the basis that it denies what he established in the preceding hadiths. Rather, we understand from it a meaning that does not contradict what he established in the preceding hadiths. What is this meaning? There is no contagion by itself and its essence, and in modern expression today: there is no contagion by its nature, because we hear today people saying "nature." So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: There is no contagion that transmits by itself, but rather if it transmits, it only transmits by the will of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And this meaning confirms for you that this is not only the way to reconcile this hadith with the hadiths that establish contagion, and this is sufficient in reality to explain the hadith: meaning: by itself. It is sufficient that there are authentic hadiths that establish contagion, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does not contradict himself; he does not say "no contagion" and "there is contagion." This is impossible. Therefore, the denied contagion here is interpreted as: the contagion that transmits by its own essence. This meaning is confirmed by the complete hadith, and it is very, very clear to one who reflects on it. When he (peace be upon him) said this hadith, a man from the Bedouins stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, we see the scabby camel enter among the healthy camels and infect them. You find that the Messenger (peace be upon him) did not contradict the Bedouin; he did not say: "No, you lied, I say there is no contagion." He approved him. Remember this now. But what did he say to him? "Who infected the first one?" Who infected the first camel that entered among the healthy camels and infected them? No doubt the answer from the believer will be: Allah is the one who infected the first camel. So when the first camel was not scabby, and the disease of scab did not afflict it; who poured the disease of scab into it? It is He who created it, and He is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), for a wisdom that He knows. So when the camels multiplied and this scabby camel entered among them, the contagion spread from this scabby camel to the other camels. It is not this camel that made them scabby, but rather He who made this first camel scabby, and He is Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this hadith wants to refute a pre-Islamic claim, which is that the scabby camel infects the healthy camels. The Messenger (peace be upon him) reminds those Bedouins who believed in Allah and His Messenger, and teaches them that it is not the scabby camel that transmits the contagion to the healthy camel or the healthy camels, but rather Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), if He wills to transfer the scab from this camel, He transfers it, and if He does not will, even if all scabby camels entered among healthy camels free from this epidemic, it is not possible for this camel to affect them with its scab at all. So the matter is referred to Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). If we understand this meaning, then means "by itself," and the problem is resolved, and Allah is sufficient for the believers in battle!
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
Many people assume that the statement:
There is no contagion
لا عدوى(3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. (4) It is not but a revelation revealed,
لا ينطق عن الهوى * إن هو إلا وحي يوحىFlee from the leper as you would flee from a lion
فرَّ من المجذوم فرارك من الأسدFlee from the leper as you would flee from a lion
فرَّ من المجذوم فرارك من الأسدIf the plague occurs in a land and you are in it, do not leave it. And if the plague occurs in a land and you are not in it, do not enter it.
إذا وقع الطَّاعون بأرضٍ وأنتم فيها ؛ فلا تخرجوا منها ، وإذا وقع الطاعون في أرضٍ ولستم فيها ؛ فلا تدخلوا إليهاThere is no contagion
لا عدوىAnd this meaning confirms for you that this is not only the way to reconcile this hadith with the hadiths that establish contagion, and this is sufficient in reality to explain the hadith:
There is no contagion
لا عدوىThere is no contagion
لا عدوىThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
