401/516 عن جابر قال: دخل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على ام السائب وهي تزفزف(2).فقال:"مالك؟". قالت الحمى اخزاها الله. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:"مه، لا تسبيها؛ فإنها تذهب خطايا المؤمن، كما يذهب الكير خبث الحديد".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Umm Sa’ib, and she was shivering due to fever. He asked:“What has happened to you?”She said:“It is fever, may Allah disgrace it.”Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Be quiet, do not speak ill of it. It removes the sins of a believer just as a furnace removes the rust from iron.”
