CHAPTER 45: THE FEVER OF MADINAH AFFLICTS THE MUHAJIROON
THE FEVER OF MADINAH AFFLICTS THE MUHAJIROON, BUT THE MESSENGER WAS SPARED BY THE WISDOM AND POWER OF ALLAH (SWT). HE SUPPLICATED ALLAH AND HE REMOVED THE FEVER FROM MADINAH
Al-Bukhari related that ‘A’ishah said: When Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) came to Madinah, Abu Bakr and Bilal got developed fever, and I went to both of them and said, “O my Father, how do you feel? O Bilaal, how do you feel?” Whenever Abu Bakr’s fever got worse, he would say,
“Every man will meet his death once in one morning
while he will be among his family, for death is really nearer to him
than his leather shoe laces (to his feet).”
And whenever fever deserted Bilal, he would say aloud,
“Would that I know whether I shall spend a night in the valley (of
Makkah) with Idhkhir and Jaleel (i.e. kinds of grass) around me,
and whether I shall drink one day the water of Majannah,
and whether I shall see once again the hills of Shamah and Tafeel?”
Then I went to Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and told him of that. He prayed, “O Allah, make us love Madinah as much as or more than we used to love Makkah, O Allah, make it healthy and bless its Sa’ and Mudd (i.e. measures), and take away its fever to Al-Juhfah.”
It is recorded in the two saheehs that Ibn Abbas said: When Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and his companions arrived (at Makkah) in the year of Umrah, the polytheists said, «There have come to you a group of people who have been weakened by the fever of Yathrib (i.e. Madinah).» So the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) ordered his companions to do Ramal (i.e. fast walking) in the first three rounds of Tawaf around the Ka’bah and to walk in between the two corners (i.e. the black stone and the Yemenite corner). The only cause which prevented the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) from ordering them to do Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf, was that he pitied them.
