"Every body is given the prayer to arise healthy among his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe-laces." And whenever Bilal’s (ra) fever subsided, he would recite, "Would that I know that I will ever spend a night in a valley surrounded by Izkhir and Jaleel (two kinds of sweet smelling grass). And that I will arrive one day to the waters of Majannah and observe (the mountains) Shamah and Tafeel" Ayshah (ra) went to the Prophet M, and informed him of what transpired with these two men. Thereupon, he made this supplication: "O Allah, make us love Madinah as dearly as we love Makkah, or more than that. O Allah! Make it healthy for us and bless for us it sa' and mudd. And remove its fever putting it in al-Juhfah"  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبِلاَلٌ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا قُلْتُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟ وَيَا بِلاَلُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ الْحُمَّى يَقُولُكُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ في أهْلِهِ والمَوْتُ أدْنَى مِن شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ وَكانَ بلَالٌ إذَا أُقْلِعَ عنْه يَرْفَعُ عَقِيرَتَهُ فيَقولُ أَلَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هلْ أبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً بوَادٍ وحَوْلِي إذْخِرٌ وجَلِيلُوَهلْ أرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مِجَنَّةٍ وهلْ تَبْدُوَنْ لي شَامَةٌ وطَفِيلُ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَجِئْتُ رَسولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ فأخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إلَيْنَا المَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أوْ أشَدَّ وصَحِّحْهَا وبَارِكْ لَنَا في صَاعِهَا ومُدِّهَا وانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا فَاجْعَلْهَا بالجُحْفَةِ  

Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to visit a bedouin who was ill. When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited someone who was ill, he would say, 'There is no harm in it. It is a purification, Allah willing." That man then said, "A purification! No, rather it is a fever which boils (or appears) in an old man and will cause him to visit the graces." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Then yes (it is)".  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ يَعُودُهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَعُودُهُ قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قَالَ ذَاكَ طَهُورٌ كَلاَّ بَلْ هِيَ حُمَّى تَفُورُ أَوْ تَثُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ تُزِيرُهُ الْقُبُورَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَعَمْ إِذًا  

Nafi' reported that when Ibn 'Umar visited someone who was ill, he would ask him how he was. When he left him, he would say, "May Allah choose what is best for you." He did not say more than that.  

عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَسْأَلُهُ كَيْفَ هُوَ؟ فَإِذَا قَامَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ خَارَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ عَلَيْهِ
