وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا صَفَرَ، وَلَا غُولَ» وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا الزُّبَيْرِ يَذْكُرُ، أَنَّ جَابِرًا فَسَّرَ لَهُمْ قَوْلَهُ: «وَلَا صَفَرَ»، فَقَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ: الصَّفَرُ: الْبَطْنُ، فَقِيلَ لِجَابِرٍ: كَيْفَ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ يُقَالُ دَوَابُّ الْبَطْنِ، قَالَ وَلَمْ يُفَسِّرِ الْغُولَ، قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ: هَذِهِ الْغُولُ: الَّتِي تَغَوَّلُ.

Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: There is no transitive disease, no safar, no ghoul. He (the narrator) said: I heard Abu Zubair say: Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ explained for them the word safar. Abu Zubair said: safar means belly. It was said to Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ : Why is it so? He said that it was held that safar implied the worms of the belly, but he gave no explanation of ghoul. Abu Zubair said: Ghoul is that which kills the travellers.
