It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Fever came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Send me to those among your people who have more precedence." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent it to the Ansar. It remained with them for six days and nights, and the fever proved to be very severe for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to their houses, and the people complained to him. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to visit each neighborhood and each house of theirs and started praying for their well-being. When he was returning, a woman came behind him and said: "By the One Who has sent you with the truth, I am from the Ansar and my father is also from the Ansar. Just as you prayed for the Ansar, pray for me as well." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you want? If you wish, I will pray for you to be protected from fever, and if you wish, be patient and you will be granted Paradise." She said: "I will be patient, and I will not put Paradise at risk."
