5677. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: WhenAllāh's Messenger ﷺ emigrated to Al-Madīna, Abū Bakr and Bilāl became ill(had a fever). I entered upon them andsaid, "O my father! How are you? O Bilāl!How are you?" Whenever the fever of AbūBakr got worse he used to say, "Everybody isstaying alive with his people, yet death isnearer to him than his shoe laces." Andwhenever fever deserted Bilāl, he wouldrecite (two poetic verses): "Would that Icould stay overnight in a valley wherein Iwould be surrounded by Idhkhīr and Jalīl(two kinds of good smelling grass). Wouldthat one day I could drink of the water ofMajanna, and would that Shāma and Tāfil(two mountains at Makkah) would appear tome!" I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ andinformed him about that. He said, "O Allāh!Make us love Al-Madīna as much or morethan we love Makkah, and make it healthy,and bless its Shā' and its Mudd, and take awayits fever and put it in Al-Juhfa." (See HadīthNo. 5654).

5677 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبِلاَلٌ، قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَتِ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟ وَيَا بِلاَلُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟ قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ الحُمَّى يَقُولُ: [البحر الرجز] كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ فِي أَهْلِهِ ... وَالمَوْتُ أَدْنَى مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ وَكَانَ بِلاَلٌ إِذَا أُقْلِعَ عَنْهُ يَرْفَعُ عَقِيرَتَهُ فَيَقُولُ: [البحر الطويل] أَلاَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً ... بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ وَهَلْ أَرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مِجَنَّةٍ ... وَهَلْ تَبْدُوَنْ لِي شَامَةٌ وَطَفِيلُ قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا المَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أَوْ أَشَدَّ، وَصَحِّحْهَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِهَا وَمُدِّهَا، وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا فَاجْعَلْهَا بِالْجُحْفَةِ»
