Explanation of the hadith of Fatimah al-Khaz'iyah, who said: (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited a woman from the Ansar who was ill, and he asked her, "How do you find yourself?" She said, "I am well...")

The Shaykh : We continue in the chapter on encouraging patience in what Allah tests His Muslim servant with, from the book *Al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib* by al-Hafiz al-Mundhiri, selecting from it the authentic hadiths in each chapter.
In the previous lesson, we reached the seventieth hadith in the numbering of my copy, and this hadith is among those authentic hadiths, and it is his saying:
And Fatimah al-Khaz'iyah said: It was narrated by al-Tabarani, and its narrators are narrators of authentic collections.
This hadith resembles a hadith that passed in the previous lesson, except that this woman appears to have been better than that one from a psychological standpoint, as she answered the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he asked about her condition by saying: "I am well, except that Umm Mirdam" Umm Mirdam is the fever, and this is a kunya (nickname) for it, because it strikes its owner with a blow of pain. She says: "It has afflicted me severely" meaning: the severe affliction struck her, and this fever persisted with her. So the Prophet (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) advised her, as is his custom with everyone he sees among the afflicted, by saying: the bellows of the blacksmith likewise, the fever removes the impurity of the son of Adam, meaning: his sins and transgressions. So it is fitting for everyone who is tested with such illnesses as fever to be patient with it so that he may return from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.
The hadith that immediately follows is weak in its chain of narration.
