5662. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ entered upon a sick to pay him a visit, and said to him, "No harm will befall on you, if Allāh will (your sickness will be) an expiation for your sins." The man said, "No, it is but a fever that is boiling within an old man and will lead him to his grave." On that, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Then yes, it is so."
