Commentary
As pointed out by 'Allāmah Tamīmī, fever is the heat generated in the body when some poisonous germs finding their way into one of the premier parts of the body, or when the body develops some other kind of acute pain that disturbs the normal system of the body and adversely affects its mechanism. The heat has its source in the heat that emanates from Hell. (For more detailed information please see Bayyināt (Urdu translated version of Mishkāt), pp. 102 - 205).
