Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that fever sought permission from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He asked: Who is this? Fever replied: I am Umm-e-Mildam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to go to the people of Quba. Then only Allah knows what hardship befell them because of it. They complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: What do you want? If you wish, I will supplicate to Allah Almighty for you, and He will remove it from you. And if you wish, let it be a means of purification from your sins (then do so). They said: O Messenger of Allah! Does it really cleanse sins? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes. They said: Then let it remain here.
