The Prophet ﷺ paid a visit to a sick bedouin. The Prophet ﷺ when visiting a patient used to say, "No harm will befall you! May Allah cure you! May Allah cure you!" So the Prophet ﷺ said to the bedouin. "No harm will befall you. May Allah cure you!" The bedouin said, "You say, may Allah cure me? No, for it is a fever which boils in (the body of) an old man, and will lead him to the grave." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, then may it be as you say."  

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

The Prophet ﷺ went to visit a sick bedouin. Whenever the Prophet ﷺ went to a patient, he used to say to him, "Don't worry, if Allah will, it will be expiation (for your sins):" The bedouin said, "You say expiation? No, it is but a fever that is boiling or harassing an old man and will lead him to his grave without his will." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then, yes, it is so."  

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

Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon sick man to pay him a visit, and said to him, "Don't worry, Allah willing, (your sickness will be) an expiation for your sins." The man said, "No, it is but a fever that is boiling within an old man and will send him to his grave." On that, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Then yes, it is so."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ كَلاَّ بَلْ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ كَيْمَا تُزِيرَهُ الْقُبُورَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَعَمْ إِذًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered upon a Bedouin man who had a fever. The Prophet said, "Fever is a means of expiation and purification." The Bedouin man replied, "No, it is a fever that overwhelms an elderly man, digging graves for him." So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , got up and left him.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ يَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ مَحْمُومٌ فَقَالَ كَفَّارَةٌ وَطَهُورٌ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بَلْ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ تُزِيرُهُ الْقُبُورَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَرَكَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ entered upon a bedouin man who was experiencing fever. The Prophet said, "There is no harm, it is a means of purification, God willing." The man responded, "No, rather it is a severe heat upon an old and aged Sheikh who is being cooked in the graves." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Well then, it is good."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ «لَا بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ» فَقَالَ كَلَّا بَلْ حِمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ تُورِدُهُ الْقُبُورَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَنَعَمْ إِذًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon a Bedouin who was sick. When he entered upon a sick person, he would say, "Do not worry, it is purification, if Allah wills." So the Bedouin said, "No, rather it is a high fever that overwhelms an elderly man, causing the graves to be moistened." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "That is indeed better." And the wording is from the narration of Abd al-Aziz ibn al-Mukhtar.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ يَعُودُهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَعُودُهُ قَالَ «لَا بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» فَقَالَ قُلْتَ طَهُورٌ لَا بَلْ هِيَ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ تَزِيرُهُ الْقُبُورُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «فَنَعَمْ إِذَنْ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ
