Hadith 9373
عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِأُمِّ مِلْدَمٍ وَهُوَ حَرٌّ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ قَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَوَجَعٌ مَا أَصَابَنِي قَطُّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ الْخَامَةِ تَحْمَرُّ مَرَّةً وَتَصْفَرُّ أُخْرَى))
Narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "How long have you had a fever? It is an increase of heat between the skin and flesh." He replied: "It is such an affliction that I have never suffered from it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of a believer is like that of a soft, delicate, and fresh crop which is sometimes red and sometimes yellow."
Hadith 9374
عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ عَائِدًا فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لِأَبِيهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ بِالصِّحَّةِ لَا بِالْوَجْعِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((مَا يَزَالُ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ بِهِ الْمَلِيلَةُ وَالصُّدَاعُ وَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا لَأَعْظَمَ مِنْ أُحُدٍ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ))
Mu’adh narrates that he came to visit Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), and when he greeted him with salam, he (Abu Darda’) said: Remain with health, not with illness, and he supplicated this three times. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: A Muslim remains afflicted with fever and headaches and similar illnesses, while he has sins as great as Mount Uhud, but because of these illnesses, his sins fall away from him such that not even the weight of a mustard seed of sin remains upon him.
Hadith 9375
عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ((الْحُمَّى مِنْ كَيْرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَمَا أَصَابَ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْهَا كَانَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ))
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Fever is the bellows of Hell; for any believer who falls ill, it will be in exchange for his portion of Hell.
Hadith 9376
عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ عَادَ مَرِيضًا وَمَعَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مِنْ وَعْكٍ أَيْ حُمَّى كَانَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((أَبْشِرْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ نَارِي أُسَلِّطُهَا عَلَى عَبْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا لِتَكُونَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ))
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.
Hadith 9377
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنَتِ الْحُمَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ((مَنْ هَذِهِ)) فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا إِلَى أَهْلِ قُبَاءَ فَلَقُوا مِنْهَا مَا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ فَأَتَوْهُ فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ((مَا شِئْتُمْ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لَكُمْ فَيَكْشِفَهَا عَنْكُمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَكُمْ طَهُورًا)) قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَ تَفْعَلُ قَالَ ((نَعَمْ)) قَالُوا فَدَعْهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: Fever sought permission to come to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who is this? It said: I am Umm Miladim (Mother of Heat). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that it be transferred to the people of Quba. So they were afflicted with it in such abundance that only Allah knows its extent. Those people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) complaining about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What do you want? If you want me to pray to Allah to remove it from you, then fine; and if you want it to be a purifier for you, (then let it remain with you). They said: O Messenger of Allah! Does it purify from sins? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. They said: Then let it remain.
