The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited Umm Sa'ib (or Umm Musaiyyab) and asked her, "What ails you O Umm Sa'ib (or Umm Musaiyyab)? You are shivering." She replied: "It is a fever, may Allah not bless it!"
أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل على أم السائب أو أم المسيب فقال ما لك يا أم السائب أو يا أم المسيب؟ تزفزفين؟ قالت الحمى لا بارك الله فيهاHe said, “Do not revile fever, for it removes the sins of the sons of Adam just as the bellows remove the dross of iron.”
فقال لا تسبي الحمى فإنها تذهب خطايا بني آدم كما يذهب الكير خبث الحديد.
