2084. Thawbān narrated that the Prophet ☩ said: "When one of you suffers from fever – and indeed fever is a piece of the Fire – let him extinguish it with water. Let him stand in a flowing river facing the direction of its flow and say:
Allāhum mashfi 'abdaka wa saddik Rasūlak ('In the Name of Allāh. O Allāh! Cure Your slave and testify to Your Messenger.') Doing so after Ṣalāt Aṣ-Ṣubh (Fajr) and before the rising of the sun. Let him submerge himself in it three times, for three days. If he is not cured in three, then five. If he is not cured in five, then seven. If he is not cured in seven, then nine. For indeed it will not remain after nine, with the permission of Allāh." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Gharīb.
