حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وُعِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبِلَالٌ، قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا، قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَتَاهُ، كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟ وَيَا بِلَالُ، كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟

قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِذَا أَخَذَتْهُ الْحُمَّى يَقُولُ: «كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مُصَبَّحٌ في أهْلِهِ... والمَوْتُ أدْنَى مِن شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ وَكانَ بلَالٌ إذَا أُقْلِعَ عنْه يَرْفَعُ عَقِيرَتَهُ فيَقولُ: أَلَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هلْ أبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً... بوَادٍ وحَوْلِي إذْخِرٌ وجَلِيلُوَهلْ أرِدَنْ يَوْمًا مِيَاهَ مِجَنَّةٍ...

وهلْ تَبْدُوَنْ لي شَامَةٌ وطَفِيلُ قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَجِئْتُ رَسولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فأخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إلَيْنَا المَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أوْ أشَدَّ، وصَحِّحْهَا، وبَارِكْ لَنَا في صَاعِهَا ومُدِّهَا، وانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا فَاجْعَلْهَا بالجُحْفَةِ»

“Every body is given the prayer to arise healthy among his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe-laces.” And whenever Bilal’s (radiyallahu anhu) fever subsided, he would recite, “Would that I know that I will ever spend a night in a valley surrounded by Izkhir and Jaleel (two kinds of sweet smelling grass). And that I will arrive one day to the waters of Majannah and observe (the mountains) Shamah and Tafeel” Ayshah (radiyallahu anhu) went to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) M, and informed him of what transpired with these two men.

Thereupon, he made this supplication: “O Allah, make us love Madinah as dearly as we love Makkah, or more than that. O Allah! Make it healthy for us and bless for us it sa and mudd. And remove its fever putting it in al-Juhfah”
