Hadith #198

Arabic Text

English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Mu'awiya, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim al-Tayymi, from al-Harith ibn Suwayd — that 'Abdullah said: 'I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was suffering from fever. I touched him and said: O Messenger of Allah, you have a very severe fever! He said: Yes — I suffer fever like two men from among you. I said: Then you have two rewards. He said: Yes — by the One in Whose hand is my soul, there is no Muslim on earth who is afflicted by any harm — from illness or anything else — except that Allah removes his sins through it, as a tree sheds its leaves.' — [It was also narrated by Ya'la from al-A'mash with the same meaning.]
