Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ يَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ مَحْمُومٌ فَقَالَ كَفَّارَةٌ وَطَهُورٌ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بَلْ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ تُزِيرُهُ الْقُبُورَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَرَكَهُ.
English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, Abu Rabi'ah narrated to us, from Anas ibn Malik: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered upon a Bedouin to visit him, and he had a fever, and said, "An expiation and a purification." The Bedouin said, "No—rather, it is a fever that boils over an old man, sending him to visit the graves." So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, got up and left him.
