Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Husayn bin Abdur Rahman narrates from Abu Ubaidah bin Hudhaifah, and he from his paternal aunt, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: I went with some women to tend to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Due to the severity of the fever’s heat, water from a waterskin was dripping onto him. We (the women) said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah, so that He may remove your suffering. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The people who are tested the most are the Prophets, then those who are nearest to them (in rank), and then those who are nearest to them.”
