Hadith 37249
٣٧٢٤٩ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن علقمة قال: مرض عبد اللَّه مرضا فجزع فيه، فقلنا: ما رأيناك جزعت في (مرض ما جزعت في) (١) مرضك هذا؟ قال: إنه (أخذني) (٢) (وقرب) (٣) (بي) (٤) من الغفلة (٥).
It is narrated from Hazrat Alqamah that he says Hazrat Abdullah was afflicted with a particular illness in which he began to show distress. We said, "We have never seen you show such distress in any illness as you have in this one?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "This illness has overpowered me and has brought heedlessness close to me."
