Abdullah reported: I visited Allahs Messenger ﷺ as he was running high temperature. I touched his body with my bard and said to him: Allahs Messenger, you are running high temperature, whereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: Yes, it is so. I comparatively have a more severe fever than any one of you. I said: Is it because there is a double reward in store for you? Thereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: Yes, it is so. And Allahs Messenger ﷺ again said: When a Muslim falls ill, his compensation is that his minor sins are obliterated just as leaves tall (in autumn). In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zubair there is (no mention of these words):" I touched his body with my hands."
