الأدب المفرد · Hadith 525
'A'isha said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Madina, Abu Bakr and Bilal came down with a fever. I visited them and asked, 'Father, how are you? Bilal, how are you?' When Abu Bakr's fever worsened, he said: 'Every man is struck down among his people in the morning, when death is closer than the strap of his sandal.' "When the fever left Bilal, he raised his voice: 'And whether one day I will go the waters of Majinna! Will the mountains of Shama and Tafil appear to me?'" 'A'isha continued, "I then went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and told him what they had said. He said, 'O Allah! Make us love Madina as we love Makka or even more! Make it healthy. Bless us in its sa' and its mudd. Take its fever away and put it in al-Juhfa.'"
