Relevant Islamic traditions, contains indications of the fact that some diseases originate from absolutely tiny creatures that are not visible by naked eyes and that these tiny creatures are of various kinds and contribute to the transmission of the disease from one person to another as well as from one region to another.

They have also attested to the efficacy of quarantine by offering their own particular definition of it.
