Mawla-e-Rasool Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you has a fever, he should cool it with cold water, for it is a piece of the fire of Hell. He should go to a running stream and face the direction of the water’s flow and recite: BISMILLAH ALLAHUMMA I FI ABDIKA WA SADIQ RASULAK. (In the name of Allah, O Allah! Cure Your servant and confirm Your Messenger.) After the Fajr prayer and before sunrise, he should bathe in this way and immerse himself three times, and repeat this action for three days. If he is not cured, then do this for five days, and if not cured in five days, then do this for seven days, and if still not cured, then do this for nine days. By Allah’s command, the fever will not last beyond nine days.

Lady Umm Tariq (may Allah be pleased with her), the freed slave woman of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) and sought permission to enter. Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought permission again, but he remained silent again. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then turned back and left. Umm Tariq says: Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to say that we did not grant you permission only because we wished that you would continue to bless us with the greetings of peace. I heard a voice at the door of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that someone was seeking permission, but I was not looking at him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who are you? She said: I am Umm Mildam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no welcome for you, there is no greeting for you. Why do you not go to the people of Quba’? She said: Alright. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go to them.
