2074. 'Āishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Fever is from the heat of Hell, so cool it with water." (Sahih) (Another chain) from Asmā' bint Abī Bakr, from the Prophet ﷺ with similar meaning. [Abū 'Eisā said:] There is more said in the Hadīth of Asmā' than this, and both Aḥādīth are Ṣaḥīḥ.

٢٠٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ» جَهَنَّمَ فَأَبْرِدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ. ٢٠٧٤ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ ‌هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ ‌فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ عَنْ ‌أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ. وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَسْمَاءَ كَلَامٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ هَذَا، وَكِلَا الْحَدِيثَيْنِ صَحِيحٌ.

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).
