Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْحُمَّى فَوْرُ جَهَنَّمَ فَابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ.
