THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF FEVER

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) said:

“There is no illness that afflicts me which is more beloved to me than fever, because it enters into every limb of mine, and Allah, Azza Wa Jal, grants every limb its share of reward.”

(Adab al-Mufrad of Imam Bukhari)


Hadhrat Abu ad-Darda (radhiyallahu anhu) said:

“The fever of a night is expiation of a year (of sins)”

(Ibn Abī Dunyā)

Rasulullah ﷺ said:

“Verily, Allah ﷻ says (regarding fever): ‘It is My fire which I impose upon my believing servant in the Dunya (this world), so it becomes his share of the fire from the Aakhirah (afterlife).'”

(Al-Mustadrak of al-Haakim)


Ibn al-Qayyim states in “at-Tibb an-Nabawi” that the leading medical experts (in the Islamic world) would celebrate the occurrence of fever, since it was a clear indication of the body combating the disease. They would say:

“In (regard to) many diseases, we rejoice at (the onset of) fever in them, just as the ill person rejoices at good health. Fever during it (i.e. disease) is much more beneficial than consuming medicine, for it processes (for eventual ejection) the humours and toxic matter which harm the body.”


To suppress fever or interfere with the body’s natural healing process with toxic chemicals, as is common nowadays, is extremely harmful and, no doubt, often leads to fatalities.
