[Machine] A man said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Have you ever seen these diseases that afflict us? What should we do about them?" The Prophet replied, "They are expiation for sins." The man asked, "Even if they are few?" The Prophet said, "Yes, even if it is just a thorn prick or something less." The man then made a supplication that he would not be separated from such illnesses until he dies, so that they would not distract him from performing the pilgrimage, umrah, jihad in the cause of Allah, or obligatory prayers in congregation. As a result, whenever a person touched him, they would find heat until he eventually died.
رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذِهِ الْأَمْرَاضَ الَّتِي تُصِيبُنَا مَا لَنَا بِهَا؟ قَالَ كَفَّارَاتٌ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ وَإِنْ قَلَّتْ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ شَوْكَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا قَالَ فَدَعَا أُبَيٌّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ لَا يُفَارِقَهُ الْوَعْكُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ فِي أَنْ لَا يَشْغَلَهُ عَنْ حَجٍّ وَلَا عُمْرَةٍ وَلَا جِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَلَا صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فِي جَمَاعَةٍفَمَا مَسَّهُ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَّا وَجَدَ حَرَّهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ
