Hadith 3724
أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ بِمَنْبِجَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا ، قَالَتْ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَبِلالٌ ، قَالَتْ : فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَتِ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ ؟ ، وَيَا بِلالُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ الْحُمَّى ، يَقُولُ : كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَالْمَوْتُ أَدْنَى مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ وَكَانَ بِلالُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ إِذَا أُقْلِعَ عَنْهُ يَرْفَعُ عَقِيرَتَهُ ، وَيَقُولُ : أَلا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَة بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلٌ وَهَلْ أَرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مَجَنَّةٍ وَهَلْ يَبْدُوَنْ لِي شَامَةٌ وَطَفِيلٌ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَجِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ، وَصَحِّحْهَا لَنَا ، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِهَا وَمُدِّهَا ، وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا ، وَاجْعَلْهَا بِالْجُحْفَةِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : الْعِلَّةُ فِي دُعَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بْنَقْلِ الْحُمَّى إِلَى الْجُحْفَةِ ، أَنَّ الْجُحْفَةَ حِينَئِذٍ كَانَتْ دَارَ الْيَهُودِ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِهَا مُسْلِمٌ ، فَمِنْ أَجْلِهِ ، قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا إِلَى الْجُحْفَةِ " .
Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) developed a fever. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I went to them. I asked: Father, how are you? O Bilal, how are you? Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had a fever, he would recite this verse: "Every person wakes up among his family, while death is closer to him than the strap of his sandal." When Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), may Allah have mercy on him, was very unwell, he would recite loudly: "Alas! Will I ever spend a night in that valley where around me will be Idhkhir and Jalil (specific grasses of Makkah)? Will I ever reach the water of Majannah one day? Will Shamah and Tufail (names of mountains) ever appear before me?" Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I went to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and informed him about this, so he prayed: "O Allah! Make Madinah as beloved to us as You made Makkah beloved to us, or even more beloved, and make it healthy for us, and bless us in its Sa’ and its Mudd, and transfer its fever away from here, transfer it to Hajfah." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:): The reason the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prayed for the fever to be transferred to Hajfah is: In those days, Hajfah was a settlement of the Jews. There was no Muslim there. That is why the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Transfer its fever to Hajfah."
