Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ عَادَ مَرِيضًا وَمَعَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مِنْ وَعْكٍ كَانَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبْشِرْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ نَارِي أُسَلِّطُهَا عَلَى عَبْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا لِتَكُونَ حَظَّهُ مِنْ النَّارِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ.
English Translation
Abu Usamah narrated to us, who said: Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid ibn Jabir informed me, from Isma'il ibn Ubaidullah, from Abu Salih al-Ash'ari, from Abu Hurairah, from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), that he visited a sick person - and Abu Hurairah was with him - who was suffering from fever. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to him: "Rejoice, for Allah the Mighty and Sublime says: 'It (fever) is My fire, which I inflict upon My believing servant in this world so that it may be his share of the Fire in the Hereafter.'"
