[Machine] I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and found him feeling unwell. I touched him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you seem to be feeling very unwell." He replied, "Indeed, I am feeling unwell just like two of you." I said, "Is there any reward for you in this?" He said, "Yes, by the One in whose hand is my soul, there is no Muslim on the earth who is afflicted with any harm or illness except that Allah removes his sins from him just as leaves fall from a tree." And Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn al-Muammil narrated to us, stating that Abu Uthman al-Basri narrated to us, stating that Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab informed him, from Ya'la ibn 'Ubaid, from Al-A'mash, who mentioned it in similar words, and said, "So I placed my hand on him."

[Machine] "I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was experiencing a headache, so I massaged his head and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you have a severe headache?' He said, 'Yes, indeed, I have a headache just like two of you.' I said, 'Do you have rewards for it?' He said, 'Yes, by the One in whose hand is my soul, there is no Muslim on earth who experiences any harm from illness or anything else except that Allah removes his sins due to it, as a tree sheds its leaves.'"

I visited Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was running a high temperature. I touched his body with my hand and said to him: Messenger of Allah, you are running a high temperature, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Yes, it is so. I comparatively have a more severe fever than any one of you. I said: Is it because there is a double reward in store for you? Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Yes, it is so. And Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said: When a Muslim falls ill, his compensation is that his minor sins are obliterated just as leaves fall (in autumn). In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zubair there is (no mention of these words):" I touched his body with my hands." (Using translation from Muslim 2571a)

I visited the Prophet ﷺ while he was having a high fever. I touched him an said, "You have a very high fever" He said, "Yes, as much fever as two me of you may have." I said. "you will have a double reward?" He said, "Yes No Muslim is afflicted with hurt caused by disease or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins as a tree sheds its leaves."
