The Messenger's ﷺ supplication to transfer the fever of Madinah to Mahyaʿah
[ مَا جَهَدَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ الْوَبَاءِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: يَذْكُرُ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ أَصَابَتْهُمْ حُمَّى الْمَدِينَةِ، حَتَّى جَهَدُوا مَرَضًا، وَصَرَفَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ذَلِكَ عَنْ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى كَانُوا مَا يُصَلُّونَ إلَّا وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ كَذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْقَاعِدِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْقَائِمِ. قَالَ: فَتَجَشَّمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْقِيَامَ عَلَى مَا بِهِمْ مِنْ الضَّعْفِ وَالسَّقَمِ الْتِمَاسَ الْفَضْلِ
Translation
✧ [The hardship the Muslims suffered from the epidemic] Ibn Isḥāq said: Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī mentions, on the authority of ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived in Madinah, he and his Companions were struck by the fever of Madinah, until they were severely ill. Allah, exalted is He, turned that away from His Prophet ﷺ, so much so that they would only pray while sitting. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to them while they were praying in that manner and said to them: "Know that the prayer of one sitting is half of the prayer of one standing." He said: The Muslims then forced themselves to stand despite the weakness and sickness that was upon them, seeking the reward.
