عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رضي اللّه عَنْهُ عنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قَالَ: «إذَا سمِعْتُمْ الطَّاعُونَ بِأَرْضٍ، فَلا تَدْخُلُوهَا، وَإذَا وقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ، وَأَنْتُمْ فِيهَا، فَلا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا» متفقٌ عليهِ.
Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "When you hear of the plague in a land, do not enter it; and when it breaks out in a land while you are in it, do not leave it." Agreed upon (al-Bukhari and Muslim).

كراهية الدخول على الوباء وكراهية الفرار منه، وهذا ما هو معروف بالحجر الصحي، وهذا لا ينافي التوكّل على اللّه، لأنّ الأخذ بالأسباب والبعد عن مواطن التهلكة من ثمرات التوكّل على اللّه تعالى. ثبوت العدوى وانتشار المرض بإذن اللّه تعالى لا بذاته. ما يفعله الإنسان وما يتركه كل ذلك معلوم للّه تعالى، والإنسان مأمور بأن يتقي مواطن الخطر. على قادة الأمة والمسؤولين عنها أن يأخذوا بأمتهم لما فيه سلامتهم وعدم التفريط بهم أو دفعهم إلى مواطن الهلاك.
The dislike of entering [a place of] the epidemic and the dislike of fleeing from it — this is what is known as [medical] quarantine. This does not contradict reliance upon Allah (tawakkul), for taking the [appropriate] means and keeping away from places of destruction is among the fruits of reliance upon Allah, the Exalted. The affirmation of contagion and the spread of disease [occurring] by the permission of Allah, the Exalted, not by itself. What a person does and what he refrains from is all known to Allah, the Exalted, and the human being is commanded to guard against places of danger. The leaders of the ummah and those responsible for it must guide their nation toward what ensures their safety, neither neglecting them nor driving them into places of destruction.
