It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that if anyone among the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would get a fever, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would order porridge to be prepared. When it was ready, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would order it to be eaten and would say that it strengthens the heart of a saddened person and removes the worries from the heart of a sick person just as any of you women removes dirt from her face with water.
