7470. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ entered upon a sick bedouin whom he went to visit and said to him, "Don't worry, Tahūr (i.e., your illness will be a means of cleansing of your sins), if Allāh will." The bedouin said, "Tahūr! No, but it is a fever that is burning in the body of an old man and it will take him to his grave." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then it is so."
