It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fever is the effect of the furnace of Hell. If a Muslim gets fever, then it is his portion from Hell (which is given to him in this world and in the Hereafter he is saved from Hell).
