الحمى من النار فأبردوها عنكم بالماء
Fever is from the Fire, so cool it with water
Hadith Number: 8431
ما حدثناه ابو عبد الله محمد بن يعقوب الحافظ، حدثنا حامد بن ابي حامد المقرئ، حدثنا إسحاق بن سليمان الرازي، حدثنا الجراح بن الضحاك الكندي، عن كريب بن سليم، عن امة امراة الزبير، قالت: كان النبي ﷺ إذا حم الزبير يامرنا ان نبرد الماء ثم نحدره عليه (1).
It is narrated from a maidservant of Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that she said: Whenever al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) had a fever, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would order us to cool water and then pour it over him.

Grading: Its chain is da'if because of the jahalah (being unknown) of Kurayb bin Sulaym al-Kindi.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): "Amah", the wife of al-Zubayr, is in fact Amah bint Khalid bin Sa'id bin al-As al-Umawiyyah. The apparent sense of this report is that she was married to al-Zubayr in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but there is "nakarah" (oddity) in this, because at that time she was far too young to be married to al-Zubayr; most likely al-Zubayr married her after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); and Allah knows best.

(1) إسناده ضعيف لجهالة كريب بن سليم الكندي. وأَمَةُ امرأةُ الزبير: هي ابنة خالد بن سعيد بن العاص الأُموية، وظاهر هذا الخبر أنها كانت امرأة الزبير في عهد النَّبِيّ ﷺ، وهذا فيه نكارة، فإنها إذ كانت أصغر من أن يتزوجها الزبير، والغالب أنه تزوجها بعد وفاة النَّبِيّ ﷺ، والله أعلم.
