5654. Narrated Āishah رضي الله عنها : When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ emigrated to Al-Madīna, Abū Bakr and Bilāl رضي الله عنهما became ill (got a fever). I entered upon them and asked, "O my father! How are you? O Bilāl! How are you?" Whenever the fever of Abū Bakr got worse, he would recite the following poetic verses: 'Everybody is staying alive among his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces.' And whenever the fever deserted Bilāl, he would recite (two poetic lines): 'Would that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhīr and Jalīl (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one day I could drink of the water of Majanna and would that Shāma and Ṭafil (two mountains at Makkah) would appear to me'. Then I came and informed Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about that, whereupon he said, "O Allāh! Make us love Al-Madīna as much or more than we love Makkah. O Allāh! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Ṣā' for us, and take away its fever and put it in Al-Juhfa.” (See H. 1889)

5654 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ المَدِينَةَ، وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبِلاَلٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا، قُلْتُ: 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 أَقْلَعَتْ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: [البحر الطويل] أَلاَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً ... بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ وَهَلْ أَرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مِجَنَّةٍ ... وَهَلْ تَبْدُوَنْ لِي شَامَةٌ وَطَفِيلُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا المَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أَوْ أَشَدَّ، اللَّهُمَّ وَصَحِّحْهَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّهَا وَصَاعِهَا، وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا فَاجْعَلْهَا بِالْجُحْفَةِ»
