3473. It was narrated that Rāfi' bin Khadij said: "I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: 'Fever is from the heat of the Hell-fire, so cool it down with water.' He entered upon a son of 'Ammār and said: 'Take away the harm, O Lord of mankind, O God of mankind.”’(Sahih)

Arabic text

3473 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ» فَدَخَلَ عَلَى ابْنٍ لِعَمَّارٍ فَقَالَ: «اكْشِفِ الْبَاسْ، رَبَّ النَّاسْ، إِلَهَ النَّاسْ»
