Hadith #51792
وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: فُقِدَ الْجَرَادُ فِي سَنَةٍ مِنْ سِنِي عُمَرَ الَّتِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا فَاهْتَمَّ بِذَلِكَ هَمًّا شَدِيدًا فَبَعَثَ إِلَى الْيمن رَاكِبًا وراكبا إِلَى الْعرق وَرَاكِبًا إِلَى الشَّامِ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْجَرَادِ هَلْ أُرِيَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَأَتَاهُ الرَّاكِبُ الَّذِي مِنْ قبل الْيمن بقبضة فنثرهابين يَدَيْهِ
فَلَمَّا رَآهَا عُمَرُ كَبَّرَ
وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَلَقَ أَلْفَ أُمَّةٍ سِتُّمِائَةٍ مِنْهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ وَأَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ فِي الْبَرِّ فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ هَلَاكِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْجَرَادُ فَإِذَا هَلَكَ الْجَرَادُ تَتَابَعَتِ الْأُمَمُ كَنِظَامِ السِّلْكِ «. رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي» شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ "
On the authority of Jabir bin Abdullah, he said: He lost locusts in the year of Omar in which he died, and he was greatly concerned about that, so he sent to Yemen riding. And he rode to Al-Irq and he rode to the Levant, asking about the locusts. Have I seen any of them? Then the rider from before came to him in Yemen with a fist. So he scattered the scars between his hands, and when Omar saw them, he said “Allah is the greatest” and said, “I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying: God Almighty created a thousand nations, six hundred of them in the sea and four hundred on land. The first destruction of this nation will be the locusts. And when the locusts are destroyed, they will follow one another. Nations are like a corps.” Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in “Shu’ab Al-Iman”
