حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّی قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَذِ یْزِبْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِد’‘ عَنْ عِکْرِمَۃَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسِ ؓ أَنَّ النبِیَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَی أَعْرَابِيَّ یَعُوْدُہُ قَالَ: وَکَانَ النَّبِیُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَی مَرِیْضٍ یَعُوْدُہُ قَالَ: ((الَابَأْسَ ،طَھُوْر’‘ إِنْ شَاءَ اللہُ)) قَالَ:ذَاکَ طَھُوْر’‘ کَلَّا بَلْ ھِيَ حُمَّی تَفُوْرُ۔أَو تُثْورُ۔عَلَی شَیْخِ کَبِیْرِ، الْقُبُوْرَ قَالَ النَّبِیُّ ﷺ:((فَنَعَمْ إذًا))
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 526
Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to visit a bedouin who was ill. When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited someone who was ill, he would say, 'There is no harm in it. It is a purification, Allah willing." That man then said, "A purification! No, rather it is a fever which boils (or appears) in an old man and will cause him to visit the graces." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "All right then."
