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) .

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 poet –

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

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.”
