Translation

<a id="_Toc492473197">H 14535</a> – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad Al-Jowhary, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, who has said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Ibrahim</span>^asws having said to me: ‘I^asws have had fever for seven months and my^asws son has had fever for twelve months and it has been increasing for us.  I^asws feel that it does not affect the whole body. Sometimes it affects in the upper part of the body and does not affect in the lower of it, and sometimes it affects in the lower part of it and does not affect in all of the upper body’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you. If you^asws allow me, I would narrate to you^asws a Hadeeth from Abu Baseer from your^asws grandfather^asws when he^asws had fever, he^asws sought help by the cold water. So he^asws would take two pieces of cloth, one immerse it in the cold water and one on the body and rotate between them. Then he^asws would call out until his^asws voice would be heard at the door of the house;  ‘يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ’ ‘O Fatima^asws daughter^asws of the Muhammad^saww’. He^asws said: ‘You have spoken the truth’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws. Have you^asws not found a cure for the fever?’ So he^asws said: ‘We^asws have not found a cure for it except for the supplication and the cold water. I^asws complained of it, so Muhammad Bin Ibrahim sent a doctor to me for it. So he came to me^asws with a medicine which made me^asws vomit, so I refused to drink it, because if I vomit, all of my^asws joints hurt’.
