Al-Adab Al-Mufrad

Book 29: Visiting the Ill

Chapter 228

A patient is credited with the deeds that he used to do when healthy

بَابُ يُكْتَبُ لِلْمَرِيضِ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 503
وَعَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ مَا مِنْ مَرَضٍ يُصِيبُنِي أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْحُمَّى، لأَنَّهَا تَدْخُلُ فِي كُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنِّي، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُعْطِي كُلَّ عُضْوٍ قِسْطَهُ مِنَ الأَجْرِ‏.‏
Abu Hurayrah said that he did not like any illness more than fever because it went into each of his limbs. And, Allah grants each limb its share of reward.
