"the false oath leaves homes desolate." It was recorded by Khaythamah al-Aṭrābulusī in "al-Muntakhab min al-Fawāʾid" (1/189/1), al-Dūlābī in "al-Kuná" (2/165), Abū Bakr al-Kalābādhī in "Miftāḥ al-Maʿānī" (359/2), and al-Khaṭīb in "Talkhīṣ al-Mutashābih" (13/147/1) from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Sakūnī (and some said: al-Yashkurī) from ʿAmr ibn Qays from Wāthilah ibn al-Asqaʿ as a marfūʿ ḥadīth.

He said: 'Why are these people fleeing from the plague?! O plague, take me to you (twice).' Then his companion, who had companionship [with the Prophet], said to him: 'Why do you wish for death when you have heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: None of you should wish for death...'"
