It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went to visit a sick person who had a fever. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: Rejoice, for Allah Almighty says: (This fever) is My fire, which I impose upon My believing servant in this world so that it may become a substitute for the punishment of the fire in the Hereafter.
