English Translation

Abu Mu’awiyah told us: al-A’mash told us, from Ibrahim al-Taymi, from al-Harith ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah, who said: I entered upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was suffering from fever, and I touched him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you are suffering such a severe fever." He said, "Yes, I am afflicted with fever as two men among you would be afflicted." I said, "That means you will have a double reward." He said, "Yes. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, there is no Muslim on earth who is afflicted with harm from illness or anything else, but Allah removes his sins thereby, just as a tree sheds its leaves." Ya’la told us this also: al-A’mash told us the like of it.
