3471 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ»

Commentary

As the joys and comforts of this life have a kind of relations with the blessings of Paradise similarly, griefs and sorrows also have a kind of relation with Hell. Water is a medicine of temperature. It is very useful in many types of fever.
