Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the
Prophet) Allah's Apostle said, "No calamity befalls a Muslim but that
Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even though it were the prick he
receives from a thorn."
Narrated Abu
Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress
befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that
Allah expiates some of his sins for that."
Narrated Kab:
The Prophet said,
"The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant, which the wind
bends lt sometimes and some other time it makes it straight. And the example of
a hypocrite is that of a pine tree which keeps straight till once it is
uprooted suddenly.
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from
whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes
quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is afflicted with
calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes his difficulties.) And an
impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till
Allah cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)

anybody suffering so much from sickness as Allah's Apostle
Narrated
'Abdullah:
I visited the
Prophet during his ailments and he was suffering from a high fever. I said,

it?" He said, "Yes, for no Muslim is afflicted with any harm but that
Allah will remove his sins as the leaves of a tree fall down."
Narrated
'Abdullah:
I visited Allah's
Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! You have a high fever." He said, "Yes, I have as much fever
as two men of you." I said, "Is it because you will have a double
reward?" He said, "Yes, it is so. No Muslim is afflicted with any
harm, even if it were the prick of a thorn, but that Allah expiates his sins
because of that, as a tree sheds its leaves."

The Prophet said,
"Feed the hungry, visit the sick, and set free the captives."

everybody. (See Hadith No. 104)
Narrated Jabir
bin 'Abdullah:
Once I fell ill.
The Prophet and Abu Bakr came walking to pay me a visit and found me
unconscious. The Prophet performed ablution and then poured the remaining water
on me, and I came to my senses to see the Prophet. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! What shall I do with my property? How shall I dispose of (distribute)
my property?" He did not reply till the Verse of inheritance was revealed.
Narrated 'Ata bin
Abi Rabah:
Ibn 'Abbas said
to me, "Shall I show you a woman of the people of Paradise?" I said,
"Yes." He said, "This black lady came to the Prophet and said,
'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomes uncovered; please invoke Allah
for me.' The Prophet said (to her), 'If you wish, be patient and you will have
(enter) Paradise; and if you wish, I will invoke Allah to cure you.' She said,
'I will remain patient,' and added, 'but I become uncovered, so please invoke
Allah for me that I may not become uncovered.' So he invoked Allah for her."

Um Zafar, the tall black lady, at (holding) the curtain of the Ka'ba.
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "Allah said, 'If I deprive my slave of his two beloved
things (i.e., his eyes) and he remains patient, I will let him enter Paradise
in compensation for them.'"
Narrated 'Aisha:
When Allah's
Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got a fever. I entered upon
them and asked, "O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?"
Whenever fever attacked Abu Bakr, he would recite the following poetic verses:
'Everybody is staying alive among his people, yet death is nearer to him than
his shoe laces." And whenever the fever deserted Bilal, he would recite
(two poetic lines): 'Would that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I
would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass).
Would that one day I would drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama
and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I came and
informed Allah's Apostle about that, whereupon he said, "O Allah! Make us
love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy and
bless its Mudd and Sa for us, and take away its fever and put it in
Al'Juhfa."
Narrated Abu
'Uthman:
Usama bin Zaid
said that while he. Sad and Ubai bin Ka'b were with the Prophet a daughter of
the Prophet sent a message to him, saying. 'My daughter is dying; please come
to us." The Prophet sent her his greetings and added "It is for Allah
what He takes, and what He gives; and everything before His sight has a limited
period. So she should hope for Allah's reward and remain patient." She
again sent a message, beseeching him by Allah, to come. So the Prophet got up.
and so did we (and went there). The child was placed on his lap while his
breath was irregular. Tears flowed from the eyes of the Prophet. Sad said to
him, "What is this, O Allah's Apostle?" He said. "This Is Mercy
which Allah has embedded in the hearts of whomever He wished of His slaves. And
Allah does not bestow His Mercy, except on the merciful among His slaves. (See
Hadith No. 373 Vol. 2)
Narrated Ibn
Abbas:
The Prophet went
to visit a sick bedouin. Whenever the Prophet 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 said, "Then, yes, it is so."
Narrated Anas:
A Jewish boy used
to serve the Prophet and became ill. The Prophet went to pay him a visit and
said to him, "Embrace Islam," and he did embrace Islam. Al-Musaiyab

Narrated 'Aisha:
During the
ailment of the Prophet some people came to visits him. He led them in prayer
while sitting. but they prayed standing, so he waved to them to sit down. When
he had finished the prayer, he said, "An Imam is to be followed, so when
he bows, you should bow. and when he raises his head, you should raise yours,
and if he prays sitting. you should pray sitting." Abu Abdullah said
Al-Humaidi said, (The order of ) "This narration has been abrogated by the
last action of the Prophet as he led the prayer sitting, while the people
prayed standing behind him'
Narrated Sad:
I became
seriously ill at Mecca and the Prophet came to visit me. I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I shall leave behind me a good fortune, but my heir is my only
daughter; shall I bequeath two third of my property to be spent in charity and
leave one third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said,
"Shall I bequeath half and leave half?" He said, "No." I
said, "Shall I bequeath one third and leave two thirds?" He said,
"One third is alright, though even one third is too much." Then he
placed his hand on his forehead and passed it over my face and abdomen and
said, "O Allah! Cure Sad and complete his emigration." I feel as if I
have been feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.
Narrated
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
I visited Allah's
Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever. I touched him with my hand
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a high fever." Allah's Apostle
said, "Yes, I have as much fever as two men of you have." I said,
"Is it because you will get a double reward?" Allah's Apostle said,
"Yes, no Muslim is afflicted with harm because of sickness or some other
inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins for him as a tree sheds its
leaves."

Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:

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

will send him to his grave." On that, the Prophet said, "Then yes, it
is so."
Narrated Usama
bin Zaid:
The Prophet rode
a donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind
him and went to visit Sad bin 'Ubada, and that had been before the battle of
Badr. The Prophet proceeded till he passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that had been before 'Abdullah embraced
Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e., isolators and
Jews. 'Abdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that gathering. When dust raised
by the donkey covered the gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with
his upper garment and said, "Do not trouble us with dust." The
Prophet greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them to Allah
(i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On
that, 'Abdullah bin Ubai said, "O man ! There is nothing better than what
you say if it is true. Do not trouble us with it in our gathering, but return
to your house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him there." On that
'Abdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring your teachings to our
gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews
started abusing each other till they were about to fight. The Prophet kept on
quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal
and proceeded till he entered upon Sad bin Ubada. He said to him "O Sad!
Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., 'Abdullah bin Ubai) said?" Sad
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has given you what
He has given you. The people of this town (Medina decided unanimously to crown
him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his head, but when that was
prevented by the Truth which Allah had given you he ('Abdullah bin Ubai) was
grieved out of jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in
the way you have seen."

to visit me (while I was sick) and he was riding neither a mule, nor a horse.

'Ujara:

that."
Narrated Al-Qasim
bin Muhammad:
'Aisha,
(complaining of headache) said, "Oh, my head"! Allah's Apostle said,
"I wish that had happened while I was still living, for then I would ask
Allah's Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah for you." Aisha said,
"Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die; and If this should
happen, you would spend the last part of the day sleeping with one of your
wives!" The Prophet said, "Nay, I should say, 'Oh my head!' I felt
like sending for Abu Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my successor lest
some people claimed something or some others wished something, but then I said
(to myself), 'Allah would not allow it to be otherwise, and the Muslims would
prevent it to be otherwise".
Narrated Ibn
Mas'ud:
I visited the
Prophet 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."
Narrated Sad:
Allah's Apostle
came to visit me during my ailment which had been aggravated during
Hajjat-al-Wada'. I said to him, "You see how sick I am. I have much
property but have no heir except my only daughter May I give two thirds of my
property in charity?"! He said, "No." I said, "Half of
it?" He said, "No." I said "One third?" He said,
"One third is too much, for to leave your heirs rich is better than to
leave them poor, begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure
but you shall get a reward for it, even for what you put in the mouth of your
wife."
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
When Allah's
Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom
was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for you a
statement after which you will not go astray." 'Umar said, "The
Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of Allah is
enough for us." The people present in the house differed and quarrelled.
Some said "Go near so that the Prophet may write for you a statement after
which you will not go astray," while the others said as Umar said. When
they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said, "Go
away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was very
unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for
them because of their disagreement and noise."
Narrated
As-Sa'ib:
My aunt took me
to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! My nephew is- ill."
The Prophet touched my head with his hand and invoked Allah to bless me. He
then performed ablution and I drank of the remaining water of his ablution and
then stood behind his back and saw "Khatam An-Nubuwwa" (The Seal of
Prophethood) between his shoulders like a button of a tent.
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
The Prophet said,
"None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him;
but if he has to wish for death, he should say: "O Allah! Keep me alive as
long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me.' "
Narrated Qais bin
Abi Hazim:
We went to pay a
visit to Khabbab (who was sick) and he had been branded (cauterized) at seven
places in his body. He said, "Our companions who died (during the lifetime
of the Prophet) left (this world) without having their rewards reduced through
enjoying the pleasures of this life, but we have got (so much) wealth that we
find no way to spend It except on the construction of buildings Had the Prophet
not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have wished for it.' We visited him
for the second time while he was building a wall. He said, A Muslim is rewarded
(in the Hereafter) for whatever he spends except for something that he spends
on building."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "The good deeds of any person will not make him enter
Paradise." (i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds.) They
(the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O Allah's Apostle?' He said,
"Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His favor and mercy on me." So
be moderate in your religious deeds and do the deeds that are within your
ability: and none of you should wish for death, for if he is a good doer, he
may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may repent to
Allah."
Narrated 'Aisha:
I heard the
Prophet , who was resting against me, saying, "O Allah! Excuse me and
bestow Your Mercy on me and let me join with the highest companions (in
Paradise)." See Qur'an (4.69)

Whenever Allah's
Apostle paid a visit to a patient, or a patient was brought to him, he used to

Cure him as You are the One Who cures. There is no cure but Yours, a cure that
leaves no disease."
Narrated Jabir
bin Abdullah:
The Prophet came
to me while I was ill. He performed ablution and threw the remaining water on
me (or said, "Pour it on him) " When I came to my senses I said,
"O Allah's Apostle! I have no son or father to be my heir, so how will be
my inheritance?" Then the Verse of inheritance was revealed.
Narrated 'Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle
emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal had a fever. I entered upon them and
said, "O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever Abu
Bakr got the fever he used to say, "Everybody is staying alive with his
people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces." And when fever
deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic verses): "Would that I could
stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil
(two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one day I could drink of the
water of Majinna, and would that Shama and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would
appear to me!" I went to Allah's Apostle and informed him about that. He
said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca,
and make it healthy, and bless its Sa and its Mudd, and take away its fever and
put it in Al-Juhfa." (See Hadith No 558) .
