3469. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "Mention of fever was made in the presence of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and a man cursed it. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not curse it, for it erases sin as fire removes the filth from iron.'" (Sahih)
3469 - أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: ذُكِرَتِ الْحُمَّى عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَبَّهَا رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَسُبَّهَا، فَإِنَّهَا تَنْفِي الذُّنُوبَ، كَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ، خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ»

One should remain patient with his sickness. Instead of complaining, one should pay heed to making supplications and using medication. Sickness expiates evil deeds and wipes out sins, if one remains patient.
