Hadith 22425

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْزُوقٌ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشَّامِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْبَانُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ الْحُمَّى وَإِنَّ الْحُمَّى قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ ، فَلْيُطْفِئْهَا عَنْهُ بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ ، وَلْيَسْتَقْبِلْ نَهَرًا جَارِيًا يَسْتَقْبِلُ جِرْيَةَ الْمَاءِ فَيَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ عَبْدَكَ وَصَدِّقْ رَسُولَكَ ، بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ ، فَيَغْتَمِسُ فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ غَمَسَاتٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَبْرَأْ فِي ثَلَاثٍ فَخَمْسٍ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَبْرَأْ فِي خَمْسٍ فَسَبْعٍ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَبْرَأْ فِي سَبْعٍ فَتِسْعٍ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكَادُ يُجَاوِزُ التِّسْعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you gets a fever—which is a part of the fire—he should extinguish it with cold water. He should stand facing the direction of the flow in front of a running stream and say: "BISMILLAH ALLAHUMMA ISHFI ABDIKA WA SADIQ RASULAKA" (In the name of Allah! O Allah, grant Your servant healing and prove Your Messenger true). This should be done before sunrise and after the Fajr prayer. After that, he should immerse himself in the running stream three times, and do this for three days. If he is not cured in three days, then for five days, otherwise for seven, otherwise for nine days. He should not exceed nine days; inshaAllah (he will be cured).
