(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى ، عَنْ
سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي
زَيْنَبُ ابْنَةُ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَرَأَيْتَ هَذِهِ الْأَمْرَاضَ الَّتِي تُصِيبُنَا مَا لَنَا بِهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : " كَفَّارَاتٌ " ، قَالَ أَبِي : وَإِنْ قَلَّتْ ؟ قَالَ : " وَإِنْ شَوْكَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا " ، قَالَ : فَدَعَا أَبِي عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ لَا يُفَارِقَهُ الْوَعْكُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ فِي أَنْ لَا يَشْغَلَهُ عَنْ حَجٍّ ، وَلَا عُمْرَةٍ ، وَلَا جِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَلَا صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ ، فَمَا مَسَّهُ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَّا وَجَدَ حَرَّهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Tell us, what is there for us regarding the illnesses that afflict us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "These illnesses become an expiation for sins." Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Even if the illness is minor?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! Even if a thorn pricks or even less than that." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed for himself that fever should never leave him until death, but it should be such that it does not hinder him from Hajj and Umrah, striving in the way of Allah, and obligatory congregational prayers. Thus, after that, whoever touched him would feel his body hot, until he passed away.
