Abu Hurayra said, "A bedouin came and the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, asked, 'Has Umm Mildam (fever) got hold of you?'
'What is Umm Mildam?' he asked. He said, 'The heat between the skin and
the flesh.' The bedouin said, 'No.' He asked, 'Have you got a headache?'
'What is headache?' the man asked. He replied, 'A wind which appears in
the head and beats the veins.' 'No,' he said, When he stood up, he said,
'Whoever wants to look at a man who is one of the people of the Fire,'
i.e. 'let them look at that man.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لاَ يَزَالُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُؤْمِنَةِ، فِي جَسَدِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ، حَتَّى يَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ.
حدثنا محمد بن عبيد قال: حدثنا عمر بن طلحة، عن محمد بن عمرو مثله وزاد (في ولده).
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Affliction will continue to trouble the believers,
men and women, in their bodies, their families, and their property until
they meet Allah Almighty purified of every wrong action."
Khalid bin al-Rabi, reported that when the illness of Huzayfah became serious his group and the Ansar heard of it. They visited him at night or in the (early) morning. Sayyidina Huzayfah asked, "What time is it?" They said, "It is midnight or nearing morning." He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from the morning which heralds admittance to Hell." He then asked, "Have you brought the cloth? Do no shroud me in costly (cloth), for if there is good for me with Allah then I will be given a better replacement but if it is the other way then even this will be taken away quickly".
'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Sa'id reported that his father said, "I waswith Salman when he visited a sick person in Kinda. When he went in, he
said, 'Good news! Allah makes the illness of the believer an expiation for him and a restoration, whereas the illness of the corrupt person is like a camel whose people hobble it and the let it go. It does not know
why it was hobbled or released.'"
