1889. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ reached Al-Madīna, Abū Bakr and Bilāl became ill. When Abū Bakr's fever got worse, he would recite (this poetic verse): "Everybody is staying alive with his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces." And Bilāl, when his fever deserted him, would recite: "Would that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhīr and Jalīl (kinds of good-smelling grass). Would that one day I could drink the water of the Majinna, and would that (the two mountains) Shāma and Tafeel would appear to me!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allāh! Curse Shaiba bin Rabī'a and 'Utba bin Rabī'a and Umaiyya bin Khalaf as they turned us out of our land to the land of epidemics." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said, "O Allāh! Make us love Al-Madīna as we love Makkah or even more than that. O Allāh! Give blessings in our Sā' and our Mudd (measures symbolising food) and make the climate of Al-Madīna suitable for us, and divert its fever towards Al-Juhfa." 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها added: When we reached Al-Madīna, it was the most unhealthy of Allāh's lands, and the valley of Buṭhān (the valley of Al-Madīna) used to flow with impure, coloured water.

1889 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ المَدِينَةَ، وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَبِلاَلٌ، فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ الحُمَّى يَقُولُ: كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ ... وَالمَوْتُ أَدْنَى مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ ، وَكَانَ بِلاَلٌ إِذَا أُقْلِعَ عَنْهُ الحُمَّى يَرْفَعُ عَقِيرَتَهُ يَقُولُ: أَلاَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً ... بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ، وَهَلْ أَرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مَجَنَّةٍ ... وَهَلْ يَبْدُوَنْ لِي شَامَةٌ وَطَفِيلُ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ العَنْ شَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ كَمَا أَخْرَجُونَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا إِلَى أَرْضِ الوَبَاءِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا المَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أَوْ أَشَدَّ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا وَفِي مُدِّنَا، وَصَحِّحْهَا لَنَا، وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا إِلَى الجُحْفَةِ»، قَالَتْ: وَقَدِمْنَا المَدِينَةَ وَهِيَ أَوْبَأُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ، قَالَتْ: فَكَانَ بُطْحَانُ يَجْرِي نَجْلًا تَعْنِي مَاءً آجِنًا
